[Patrick_68000]

I read on a site in French. But on Google, there are certainly has links to information in English : "So great news ! As a reminder, Devil's Canyon are Haswell (Haswell Refresh) with some modifications intended to improve overclocking, especially at the contact between die and HIS but also the power to the back of the CPU filter capacitors. Rumors point to two versions:

- Core i5-4690K: 3.5 GHz, Turbo 3.9 GHz (100 MHz vs i5-4670K)
- Core i7-4790K: 4.0 GHz, Turbo 4.4 GHz (500 MHz vs i7-4770K)

Their announcement is planned for Computex in early June, so we should know more about pricing, availability date

The rest of the series has also had a little clock bump, as well. They feel a lot quicker in the systems we've been building here (using 8 series mobos) but I can't see any reason why that should be the case!
