Devil's Canyon breaks world records achieving over 5.5Ghz with air cooling at Computex 2014 http://www.extremetech.com/computing...-4ghz-with-ln2 Included in this article is a picture of the extra capacitors added and compared side by side.

What is devil's canyon again? Is that the name of the haswell refresh?

It is only the new "made for O/C" Haswell refresh CPU. There were several other refresh chips, but this one has the new TIM and capacitors so actually should see some difference with it.

Specifically it's the i7-4790K and the i5-4690K that are called Devil's Canyon. There's also a 20th Anniversary Pentium (dual core, 3.2GHz, unlocked, socket 1150) but it's technically not part of Devil's Canyon even though it launched at the same time.

Release date June 25th for $340-$350 (i7-4790K). If using on a Z87 motherboard, be sure you can get a BIOS update supporting this CPU before purchasing.

I have been thinking about upgrading my old q9400 and mother board. I might do this when they come out.

I will be getting one some time soon, I am resisting until I get the miner stuff going. Finish getting value from one set of purchases first.

Okay guys here is the lowest I've found so far but it's in-store only $279.99 at MicroCenter.

I'd make an offer to the team to buy and ship at no profit but with tax and shipping it total out at just under $307.

Amazon has the next best price at $299.99 with free shipping

Oh and btw, I am available for adoption to anyone with lots of disposable income.....
