The Intel Core i5-4690K was a desktop processor with 4 cores, launched in June 2014, at an MSRP of $243. It is part of the Core i5 lineup, using the Haswell architecture with Socket 1150. Core i5-4690K has 6 MB of L3 cache and operates at 3.5 GHz by default, but can boost up to 3.9 GHz, depending on the workload. Intel is making the Core i5-4690K on a 22 nm production node using 1,400 million transistors. You may freely adjust the unlocked multiplier on Core i5-4690K, which simplifies overclocking greatly, as you can easily dial in any overclocking frequency.
With a TDP of 88 W, the Core i5-4690K consumes a good deal of power, so decent cooling is needed. Intel's processor supports DDR3 memory with a dual-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 1600 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. For communication with other components in the system, Core i5-4690K uses a PCI-Express Gen 3 connection. This processor features the Intel HD 4600 integrated graphics solution. Inside the box you will not only find the processor, but also a Yes cooler.
Hardware virtualization is available on the Core i5-4690K, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Additionally, IOMMU virtualization (PCI passthrough) is supported, so that guest virtual machines may directly use host hardware. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) can run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications. Besides AVX, Intel is including the newer AVX2 standard, too, but not AVX-512.
