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.Quote:

I have been thinking about upgrading my old q9400 and mother board. I might do this when they come out.
And it's the 25th already. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819117369Quote:

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 $299.99 with free shipping
Oh and btw, I am available for adoption to anyone with lots of disposable income.....
Man adopted from someone that loves me as father ... thanks F$.:DQuote:

Agreed. I want the new >4 core intel CPU to replace my lone i7-3770. Anything less than that is just spending money for fun. I've done plenty of that in the past. :D But for now, I am waiting.Quote:
