Intel Core i7-4790 CPU - 3.6 GHz, 8MB Cache, LGA 1150 (OEM)

The Intel Core i7-4790 is a high-performance desktop processor from Intel's fourth-generation Core (Haswell) lineup. It is designed for users who require robust computing power for tasks such as video editing, 3D rendering, and multitasking with multiple applications. The processor features a base clock speed of 3.6 GHz, which can be dynamically increased to a maximum turbo frequency of 4 GHz using Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 Technology. This allows the processor to scale its performance based on workload demands and thermal conditions.

The i7-4790 is built on a 22 nm manufacturing process and features 8 MB of Intel Smart Cache, which helps improve performance by allowing all cores to share the cache efficiently. It supports up to 8 threads via Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, enabling the processor to handle more tasks simultaneously. The processor is compatible with LGA 1150 sockets, making it suitable for motherboards that support this socket type.

The i7-4790 also includes integrated graphics in the form of Intel HD Graphics 4600, which provides decent performance for casual gaming and multimedia playback. The graphics core has a base frequency of 350 MHz and can dynamically boost up to 1.2 GHz when needed. This makes it a good option for users who want to avoid purchasing a separate graphics card for basic visual tasks.

The processor supports a range of advanced technologies, including Intel vPro Technology for enhanced security and manageability in business environments, Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) for running virtual machines, and Intel 64 Architecture for support of larger memory addresses. It also includes features like Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology for power efficiency and Thermal Monitoring Technologies to ensure stable operation under load.

With a maximum thermal design power (TDP) of 84 W, the i7-4790 is designed to be used with standard cooling solutions, though high-performance cooling may be required for sustained heavy workloads. It supports up to 25.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth, which helps improve performance in memory-intensive applications.
