Overview
The Intel Core i7-4790 brings 4 cores and 8 threads. Clocks run from 3.6GHz base to 4GHz boost. It drops into the LGA1150 socket with a 84W TDP — about 21W per core. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600 graphics let it run headless-GPU builds and troubleshooting.
8MB of L3 cache helps in cache-sensitive games and workloads. Confirm motherboard socket compatibility before anything else, then size the cooler to the TDP. Its $148.00 price tag places it squarely in budget territory.
