In short: Z97 has different power delivery which seems to have addressed some of the temp issues, rumors indicate the ES Devi's Canyon is overclocking to 5ghz for many TW/Chinese guys near the supply chain easily. Also, many Z97 motherboard reviews seem to indicate that even with higher over-voltage, that temps even on existing 4770k parts are the same or better (mind you, this is with 1.35V+ which was unthinkable on Z87). Power delivery is definitely improved on the Z97 platform, and the 4790K seems to have additional improvements as well.
As usual, rumor, take with a grain of salt. Interesting if true though - might be my next upgrade. Pentium-K unlocked SKUs also supposedly coming. If these dual core Pentium SKUs replace existing parts at the same prices - hoo boy. Can't wait to OC one of those suckers for my HTPC.

Originally speculated, at most, an upgraded version of the clock +100 MHz, but it seems that the top Core i7-4790K is not so simple, basic clock will be increased to 4GHz, Turbo Boost to reach 4.4GHz, than the original Core 3.5/3.9 i7-4770K's GHz up to 500MHz, the magnitude is not small, it seems to put a better TIM thermal media and new packaging materials, really solved the problem of poor heat earlier, it seems really easy on the 5GHz. As for Core i5-4690K is only to enhance the 100MHz only. Another part of both the TDP 88W, 84W per cent more than the original number.
