About the Intel Core i5-12490F CPU

The Intel Core i5-12490F is a 6-core (12-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in 2022. It is part of Intel's Core i5 lineup, which is based on the Alder Lake-S microarchitecture. The i5-12490F is compatible with Intel Socket 1700 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 10 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

The Core i5-12490F supports DDR4-3200, DDR5-4800 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i5-12490F has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 80 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 1.25 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 20 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i5-12490F features 6 total cores which can process 12 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.0 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.6 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i5-12490F does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
