Gotcha. I think everyone is definitely more interested in seeing how the new chips overclock so just an OC guide rather than a full review is perfect.Who said Intel sent the 4790 to me?
Other sites are posting reviews with ES chips, where I much prefer to not rush a review for hits, and wait for retail CPUs, myself. What if retails are different in binning and clock better, or worse?
I have no plans on doing a 4790K CPU review, although I will do an OC guide like I did with the 4770K once retail CPUs are available and I've spent some time testing a bunch of chips. Someone else will do a proper 4790K CPU review.
Also, if you look at the OP closely, you'll see this dated as May 15th.

4790 yes and the DC is what they claim too
The only issue with that is that I need to get at least a few chips to test OC with, rather than just one, or what I'm reporting is only how my chips clock, not a general guide for what most users can expect. I should have that taken care of though, so I'm pretty eager to get to work on this. I still have that 3100 MHz Avexir memory kit too, hoping to push it a bit further, whereas with this 4790, even getting 3100 MHz was a bit difficult. Seems to me though that AMD GPUs are more friendly to BCLK OC than NVidia GPUs are.

From this CPU sample, things seem to be about the same as past chips. Which is to say that it's not an issue, unless overclocking. I can't comment on Devil's Canyon just yet.
