Devil's Canyon CPUs – sold under the Core i7 4790K and Core i5 4690K – are designed with higher base clocks and higher overclocks in mind. At one stage many were working under the impression that the i7 4790K would be a simple multiplier bump of the i7 4770K, bringing very little added value to the market over its predecessor. As we will see in the review the 4790K is a substantial engineering improvement, creating a major lead in both stock speeds and additional overclocking headroom without a price increase.
