Intels Core i7-4790K arbeitet wie der Core i7-5960X (Platz 2) noch mit älterer Haswell-Technik - kostet aktuell aber in etwas genauso viel wie der Testsieger. Er ist zwar flink, aber bei aufwendigen Foto- und Videobearbeitungen deutlich langsamer als der Core i7-6700K. Zudem arbeitet sein eingebauter Grafikchip HD 4600 gemächlicher.
