Not necessarily. First off you're talking about two CPUs from two different generations. The 4790K being *Devil's Canyon, and the 4820K being IvyBridge-E(?). Now if you would be speaking of two chips in the same generation, and the same line of CPUs, yes you would be correct. i5-4590 vs the i5-4690K for example.


Short answer: Yes, and No. Yes in that's typically how companies will label their products; higher is better. No, in that in this case, the 4790K, on paper, is much better than the 4820K.
