BX80646I74790K Looking for the perfect processor to build your gaming rig around? But you also want to edit your action videos and photos? But to do this you know you need serious performance. Not to worry - Intel is happy to announce our first 4GHz base frequency quad core processor. If it is performance you crave, then this is the processor you have been waiting for.

Description

Intel Turbo Boost Technology

Dynamically increases the processor's frequency as needed by taking advantage of thermal and power headroom when operating below specified limits.

2.0 Intel Hyper-Threading
Delivers two processing threads per physical core. Highly threaded applications can get more work done in parallel, completing tasks sooner.

Technology Built-In Visuals
Intel HD Graphics - Enhanced 3D performance for immersive mainstream and casual gaming. can support up to three UltraHD (4K) displays and collage display.
Intel Wireless Display - Wirelessly stream HD / 3D video and games to your TV or projector for presentations and entertainment.
Intel Quick Sync Video - Delivers fast conversion of video for portable media players, online sharing and video editing and authoring
Intel Clear Video HD - Visual qulity and colour fidelity enhancements for HD playback and immersive Web browsing.
Intel InTru 3D - Stereoscopic 3D Blu-ray playback in full 1080p resolution over HDMI 1.4 and premium audio.
Intel Advanced Vector Extensions - A set of new instrutions to improve software performance for floating point-intensive applications such as audio processing, audio codecs, and image and video editing applications.

Integratied Memory Controller
An integrated memory controller offers stunning memory read/write performance through efficient prefetching algorithms, lower latency, improving performance.

Intel Virtualization Technology
Allows one hardware platform to funtion as multiple "virtual" platforms by isolating computing activities into separate partitions.

Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions
New AES instructions add hardware acceleration to AES algorithms and speeds up the execution of AES applications.

Thermal Solution for Boxed Processors
Includes a four-pin connector for fan speed control to help minmize the acoustic noise levels generated from running the fan at higher speeds for thermal performance.
