Intel tweeted a picture yesterday showing a reference setup of a Devil’s Canyon Core i7-4790K. While visually imposing, Intel also claims it was overclocked to 5.5GHz and running on a air cooler. If most of the Devil’s Canyon chips can even reach just 5.0GHz under air or low-end water cooling, that will be a very impressive feat for the company. The Core i7-4790K and Core i5-4690K are set to launch in mid-June, with the multiplier-unlocked Pentium G3258 following swiftly after.
