We decided to head back into the BIOS again and adjust the multiplier down one to 48x. No matter what we did, though, this just wasn't going to happen. We headed back into the BIOS to adjust some of the voltages more to see if we could get this happening.

Straight away we saw our System not booting up.

With 4.9GHz our starting point we figured that we would head into the BIOS and adjust out CPU multiplier to 49x. That particular processor went from around 4.9GHz – 4.98GHz on a strong motherboard. What we had hoped for was to get something that would sit better then what our previous generation i7 4770K achieved. The main thing we want to do here, though, before we get into the performance of our Devils Canyon CPU is see just what happen with overclocking. As for the AMD side of things we've included the AMD FX-8150. We have a slew of CPUs that are sitting alongside our Intel I7 4970K today ranging from older models like the i7 990X Extreme Edition to the super expensive i7 4960X Extreme Edition. We would like to thank the following companies for supplying and supporting us with our test system hardware and equipment: Intel, ASUS, MSI, Western Digital, MemoRight and Corsair. The other is additional capacitors to deliver a smoother power deliver. The first is the new Thermal Interface Material which is designed to improve cooling. Looking below you can see that the i7 4790K sits with 1150 LGA pin setup and carries with it only two main features that are being highlighted by Intel.

There's really not a whole lot to say about the new processor from Intel. The K version brings with it the ability to adjust the CPU Multiplier alongside the BCLK which in turn brings with it the ability to achieve a much stronger overclock then the non-K versions of Intel CPUs. The i7 4790K is of course the popular K version of the newly released i7 4790 that we looked at previously. Today we're getting a chance to look at the processor that was codenamed Devils Canyon. There wasn't much to get excited about, though, as performance really didn't change too much when compared to our beloved i7 4770k. Overall the only thing bought to the table was a slightly elevated clock speed.

Being a non-K series SKU meant that overclocking was pretty much not an option.

While the M1-powered MacBook Pro 13 laptops are certainly more affordable compared to previous Intel-based versions, they still seem overpriced compared to similarly-specced models from other OEMs, even if they indeed come with great screens on top.A little before Computex we got a chance to check out the i7 4790 and found ourselves not getting all that impressed over what was on offer. Then again, we should not ignore the pricing aspect.

We are also seeing that the M1 has a quite potent iGPU, and, depending on use case, Apple’s chip may offer a better overall experience. The i7-1165G7 and i7-1185G7 appear to be only slightly faster in single-core mode, but they lag behind in multi-core mode by quite a lot since they only score ~6,200 points due to their quad-core design. Thanks to the guys over at WCCFTech, we also get an idea how the M1 compares to the Tiger Lake CPUs. Conversely, the same AMD APU scored 8359 points in multi-thread mode, while the M1 scored 7608. Twitter user Ali King Fans Intl tested the M1 chip on the latest MacBook Pro 13 with the new Cinebench R23 suite and the Apple processor managed to score 1498 points in single-core mode, which is a few hundred points higher than what a Ryzen Pro 4750U managed. Surprisingly enough, the M1 appears to be beating similar AMD in single-core load, at least according to some new leaked tests performed in the newly released Cinebench R23. It might not obliterate the new Intel Tiger Lake-U or AMD’s Renoir APUs, but the performance is up there. From what we can gather, the M1 seems to be quite an accomplishment considering that this is the first laptop-grade completely developed in-house by Apple. Apple’s M1 laptop-grade SoC has been getting quite the attention the past few days as more and more benchmark results are flooding the social media outlets.
