Intel i5 processor core

[Shahanur Dominic]

Is 4-th gen i5 4670k 3.4 ghz a quad core processor?

 

[RobCrezz]

Yes.

 

[Undying89]

Yes it is.

 

[mnineseven]

Yes, Quad-core; Quad thread. No hyper-threading.

If your buying one I would look at the 4690K paired with a Z97 board, better thermal design.

Wut? Did I miss something or is there something better to the 4670K except the arbitrary higher clock rate?

The 4690k distributes heat better and therefore gives it slightly better OC potiental

They have improved the thermal paste and overall stock cooling of the CPU to support higher clocks.

the answer is yes..

For me, if I stucked with i5-4670K, I will get a Z97 board, so if someday I want to upgrade to 4690K or i7-4790K, I don't need to buy a new board..

That "someday" might be when Broadwell comes out! So you have better upgradeability.

Basically a fancy way of saying "Intel used a slightly better Thermal paste between the die and the heatspreader on devils canyon"
