This is an amazing cpu.
love at first sight
i'm currently using a i5 4690k , do i have to upgrade anytime soon, specially with skylake come out ?
no that cpu is still fine for the next few years.
yes it really is, you dont have to upgrade. my cpu is like 10-20% worse than yours and i have not encountered any troubles with it yet.
and if you want to upgrade anything. upgrade your gpu, its worse than your cpu:)
got any different if i upgrade to this from my current cpu in gaming?
Well …no
I dont think you will see difference
so no different eh?i though wanna change to this later
No need, really
ok tq bos
Until games start using more than 4 cores you'll be good with that proc.
Wow, 22nm.
Update: This Processor is now correctly ranked!

One day I will have this, likly when it's old and out of date. :(
not really, just work for it
why would you want to change your cpu ? that 4790 is very strong as it is,no need to replace it for a few years
Impressive! Even with my 25% Oc, this chip is still 80% faster then my chip.
well yeah… it's a hexacore…
Processor added on 15/06/2014. Rank and some specifications unknown.
I'm Pretty sure you got the rank right lol.
why is that? lol
Isn't the rank the 10 in the big yellow star in the top right?
yes buddy but there are many rank 10 processors. :P
will my processor be good ultil the end of 2015? with overclock to 4.3ghz ?
It will be enough until 2018. No exaggeration :D
Cool, so i'll be able to sell it in end of 2015 for a good price to get some haswell or the new octa core from intel, thanks mate :D
