How is this different from the i5 4670k?

The biggest improvement is in the TIM (thermal interface material) which will improve temp's, resulting in a better overclock. Many enthusiast replaced the TIM on the 4670K's and lowered their temps by 10-20*C. I haven't seen any benchmarks published but I would be surprised if there's more than 5% improvement on any of the test.Also, there is an improvement on the integrated graphics.

Does this packaging include the heatsink and fan?

Yes, but if you are planning on overclocking, or even pushing the CPU pretty hard, I WOULD get an aftermarket cooler. You don't need to go overboard with water cooling (although Corsair offers some nice closed loop systems that work very well), but you SHOULD go with something sufficient. I like the EVO 212 air cooler for a cheap, well made, and good performing air cooling solution. Noctua makes one like the 212 that works very well also, but at a higher cost (much better fan, but as far as the cooler itself, not so sure about performance difference).

Is this socket 1150 or 1155? The description, product title, and product comparisons seem to disagree.

Looking at the part # BX80646I54690K from Intel's website says this is a socket 1150 product.http://ark.intel.com/products/80811/Intel-Core-i5-4690K-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_90-GHz

Does this work with the z87 chipset?

Yes, it's what I installed this CPU with, the Z87-G45 Gaming motherboard from MSI.
