The i7 4790k has higher frequency, faster clock speed, faster turbo, higher overclock, 2MB higher cache.
however the i7 5775C consumes slightly lower power, has 128mb of eDRAM, and much better iGPU.
i get that the broadwell chip is used more for HTPC's or if you don't use a gpu, but how does it fare in Autodesk Maya, Premier and ofcourse gaming compared to the haswell refresh? haven't found many comparions directly with i7 4790k other than some small unkown videos like this one > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgnmK42pYHA
will it be slightly better or worse? i got an offer to swap chips with someone for 30$ (i currently use a i7 4790K) is it worth it?
