Summary

The Intel Core i5-4690K was well-received upon its release. It belongs to the Devils Canyon architecture and was manufactured using the 22nm process. Its unlocked multiplier allowed for easy overclocking. This noticeably increased the processor's performance. We were really surprised at how much potential it had.

This flexibility made it a very popular choice. It provided a very solid basis for gaming systems of its time. Its performance was always sufficient for everyday tasks as well. In addition, the integrated graphics module, Intel HD Graphics 4600, is included. It enabled problem-free image output without a separate graphics card.

Smaller applications also ran smoothly with it. 6 MB Level-3 cache supported fast data processing. The PCIe 3.0 connection also offered good connectivity. Its maximum memory bandwidth is 26 GB/s. It is a reliable component that can still do its job today.
