As of when this was posted, it's not on intel's site.
What's the difference? 0.02%?
Thermal Monitoring Technology does just what it says. It monitors the thermals of the CPU. It basically keeps the CPU at or below its maximum TDP. Not sure if this is truly a separate feature than what's already in other Intel CPUs (such as SpeedStep or the C states).
The Anti-Theft is pretty neat. It allows you to send a code that you have created to kill the system if it is stolen. Keeps sensitive data from the bad peoples hands.
TXT (Trusted Execution Technology) is pretty much another level of security much like Secure Boot. It allows the system to only boot in trusted mode with a trusted OS.
And as for vPro, its been around for a while and some of Intels desktop models have it (normally DT Xeons or higher end models). Its a hardware level security and management system. It has the ability to allow for a admin to remote into the system on a hardware level instead of a software level. Its pretty neat stuff and I have always wanted to try it.
This CPU is pretty much best in a business environment more than a home desktop PC.
Also don't forget that in addition to missing VTx support, the K models lack TSX/Transactional memory support, a feature that can be used to improve multi-threaded performance. This may become an issue in the future.
Annoying how Intel cripple their processors like this just so they can make a few extra bucks.
Is this the NSA version of the 4770k?
I don't trust anything marketed as trusted. Sounds like it might not run some, if not any version of Linux. To be a trusted OS it probably has to have a government approved back door.
The 100mhz difference on base clock makes no difference unless you actually manage to push the processor to it's TDP.. The only thing the i7 4770 really gives up compared to the i7 4771, is a chunk of it's price.
VTx, TXT and vPro aren't important features for 99% of home users, so it's really not a big deal that they're missing on the i7 4770K.
But the k does have thermal monitoring and at.
No one would care if you were still happy with your abacus, let alone an older chip set. Your statement is completely vacuous and without substance. You don't think the 10% or more clock for clock performance increase is worth the couple hundred dollars it would cost to upgrade. Fine. The same argument could be made no matter what era chip set you owned. No one cares about your completely subjective opinion based solely on how much a dollar is worth to you. That is except for the rest of the people like you who are bothered by not having the best. They love it. The rest of us though, we could do without your need for self validation.
