According to this site (Chinese), the upcoming quad core Devil's Canyon i7-4790K will have a base frequency of 4.0GHz, a turbo boost speed of 4.4GHz and able to hit 5GHz on air.

I agree, I need to have a good upgrade path for my aging 3930k system.
So the stock speed will be about 30% faster than my 4 year old air cooled overclocked i860, and 40% faster if I over clock it on air
Not much of an improvement considering it's been over 4 years. I used to upgrade my system every time I could get at least another 30%, which use to be ever couple years.
Whish they would at least do a hex core on this socket. I'll just stick with my 3930k for a few more years. But I am glad they are going to change the thermal paste back to soldering it. Make it much better when over clocking systems for my customers .
Eight cores standard, please, already.

Clock speed doesn't tell the whole story

A stock speed 4770k is almost twice was fast as the i7 860 at most benchmarks according to this: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/108?vs=836

Aging 3930k?
Thats cute
Depending on pricing I might replace my 4770K with one of these just to see how the overclocks go. I'll probably grab one if Microcenter runs their CPU deals on this and it's in the $250ish range.
Any source to back that up? Everything I'm seeing shows storage as being the only real change. I find it hard to believe that this chip won't be able to run on z87Don't, the devil's canyon won't work in a Z87 motherboard I believe- allegedly there's some power delivery changes they made to improve higher stock/OCing on the Z97 chipset, so you would need to pair it with z97.

Unless my Sandy at 4.8 dies I see no reason to upgrade. If anyone is wondering why enthusiasts aren't buying its because of these are not better. We haven't had a "tock" since Sandy Bridge. Ivy/Haswell/Haswellrefresh. Yawn.
If DDR4 broadwell is another 5 10% stock jump after the delay I'll really be sad. I used to upgrade regularly. This is the longest I've held a platform because there's nothing worth the $$$. Is intel going to make us wait till skylake to get 50% more performance overclocked? AMD shitting the bed is making this a boring hobby.

Devil Canyon...Skulltrail...I'm pretty sure that Intel's marketing department came out of Chi Town and I'm waiting for them to announce a Death's Head Transport and Spider Skull Walker.

I don't understand how you can say that Devil's Canyon is "not better" than your Sandy.

Intel could have released 4Ghz+ stock processors years ago. They purposely don't to prop up the overclocking market so they can simply charge more for special "K" version processors. Its kind of boring when for 3 generations the speeds come out just about the same and overclock just as equal.
