Overview

The Intel Core i5-4690K is a desktop processor with 4 cores, released in 2014 at an MSRP of $243. It is part of the Core i5 lineup, using the 4th Gen platform, and fits the LGA1150 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Haswell" architecture. The Core i5-4690K has a base clock of 3.5 GHz and can boost up to 3.9 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. Intel manufactures the "Haswell" silicon on a 22nm process node. The multiplier is unlocked, making overclocking straightforward. This processor supports DDR3 memory. With a TDP of 88W, the Core i5-4690K sits in a typical power envelope for a modern desktop CPU. Integrated graphics are provided by the HD 4600 solution, so a discrete GPU is not required for display output. The cache hierarchy consists of 32KB/core of L1, 1MB of L2, and 6MB of L3 cache.

Devil's Canyon — improved thermal interface material over the 4670K for better overclocking headroom.
