Product Information

System and Maximum TDP is based on worst case scenarios. Actual TDP may be lower if not all I/Os for chipsets are used. Performance: On applications that can only utilize a few threads, the S-series CPUs are essentially identical in performance to their standard counterparts. If an application can use a higher number of CPU threads (or if many applications are running at once), however, the S-series CPUs can be as much as 5% slower than the standard models. Specifications and connection of peripherals supported by Core i7-4790K and Core i7-4790S. PCIe version

To sum up, all the official specifications really tell us is that S-series processors may be a bit slower and may run a bit cooler than their standard equivalent but it is far from conclusive. For that, we will need to perform our own testing. Test Setup

Intel® Flexible Display Interface (Intel® FDI)

Virtual machine speed-up technologies supported by Core i7-4790K and Core i7-4790S are enumerated here. AMD-V Processors that support 64-bit computing on Intel® architecture require an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. S-series processors are supposed to be lower wattage (that is how they are primarily advertised by Intel) so the slightly lower performance is to be expected and in some ways is secondary to the power draw of the S-series CPUs. What we found was that the 4790S did indeed draw less power when five to eight threads were being used, but with fewer than five threads the 4790S actually pulled more power than the standard 4790 by an average of 6%.

Temperature: Even though the 4790S used more power in some applications than the 4790, we didn't really see the 4790S running any hotter than the 4790 in those instances. When the 4790S does use less power, however, we saw a drop in temperature of up to about 5 °C. This isn't insignificant, but at the same time is not going to be a game changer in most situations. To summarize both our research and testing results, there are three major ways in which Intel S-series processors differ from the standard models: Single-Core สูงสุดที่เทคโนโลยี Intel® Turbo Boost สามารถทำได้ โปรดดู www.intel.com/content/www/th/th/architecture-and-technology/turbo-boost/turbo-boost-technology.html สำหรับข้อมูลเพิ่มเติม All driver and Windows updates were applied prior to testing. Coretemp was used to record both the CPU temperature and operating frequency along with a "watts up? PRO" power meter with USB logging to record the system power draw.

Technologies and extensions

Likely, the inconsistencies we found in the previous section are related to how many threads each benchmark is able to utilize and how that affected the amount of Turbo Boost each CPU received. To determine the actual amount of Turbo Boost available to our test CPUs based on the number of active threads we ran Prime95 on each CPU with the bechmark limited to between one and eight active threads.
