4.7ghz is what I see a majority max out it, I see another good chunk at 4.8 but that's about it.
On air yes because of lower temps, but besides a few minor upgrades which allow some better voltages its the exact same chip so the overclocking has not really changed. They are just better for temps without delidding because of the better TIM. Most places I see still top out on average the 4.6-4.8 range same with the 4770k (albeit this is achievable on air now).
even if they both max out the same, the fact that the 4790k only gained 4 watts of tdp at 500MHZ higher clock shows the better bin. You wouldn't purposefully choose an inferior bin would you?All to end up with a hotter less efficient version of the same thing? That doesn't make any sense. There's no reason for anyone buying new to get choose the 4770K over the 4790K unless there is a significant price difference.
