Core i7-4790T Details

As of March 2026, the Intel Core i7-4790T remains a notable entry in the legacy desktop CPU lineup, offering a balance of integrated graphics and multi-threaded performance despite its age. Released during the Haswell era, this processor is built on a 22 nm process and is designed for mainstream desktop use with a 45 W TDP, making it suitable for compact systems and energy-efficient builds. It features four cores with eight threads enabled via Hyper-Threading, clocked at a base frequency of 2.7 GHz and capable of reaching a turbo frequency of 3.9 GHz, allowing it to handle modern workloads with reasonable efficiency.

The Core i7-4790T supports up to 32 GB of DDR3-1600 memory across two channels, delivering a maximum memory bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s. It uses the FCLGA1150 socket, which is compatible with a range of Intel 800-series chipsets, though it lacks support for newer features such as PCIe 4.0 or DDR4. Integrated into the processor is Intel's HD Graphics 4600, which supports up to three displays and runs at a base frequency of 350 MHz, with a burst frequency of 1.2 GHz. While not suitable for modern gaming, it provides adequate graphics performance for office applications, media playback, and light multimedia tasks.

In benchmark testing, the Core i7-4790T achieves an overall score of 5371, ranking #575 of 2060 processors, with a single-core score of 5624 (#473 of 2060) and a multicore score of 4992 (#649 of 2060). These results place it above many modern low-power and older-generation CPUs, including the Core i7-4771 and Core i5-1145G7, while still trailing behind more recent mainstream offerings such as the Core i5-5675C and Ryzen 7 4800H. Its single-core performance is particularly strong, outperforming several modern mobile and desktop CPUs, which makes it a viable option for applications sensitive to per-core performance.

The processor supports a broad range of advanced features, including AES-NI, AVX2, Intel VT-x, VT-d, and Intel vPro, which enhance security, virtualization, and encryption capabilities. It also includes Intel's Enhanced SpeedStep (EIST) and Trusted Execution Technology (TXT), improving power efficiency and system integrity. However, it lacks ECC memory support, which limits its use in enterprise or server environments.

Given its performance profile and energy efficiency, the Core i7-4790T is best suited for light to moderate desktop use, such as office productivity, web browsing, and multimedia consumption. While it is no longer competitive in high-end gaming or content creation, its strong single-threaded performance and integrated graphics make it a practical choice for legacy systems or budget builds where power consumption and thermal design are priorities.
