Intel® Core™ i5-12490F

The Intel Core i5-12490F is a desktop processor with 6 cores and 12 threads, built on the Alder Lake architecture (Intel 7 process). It launched in Feb 2022. Clocks run from 3.0 GHz base to 4.6 GHz boost. A 20-MB L3 cache backs the cores (4.7 MB per core). It supports DDR4, DDR5 memory. It uses the FCLGA1700 socket. Rated TDP is 65 W. Notable platform capabilities: Deep Learning Boost, AVX-VNNI, Extended Page Tables (EPT), AES-NI.

The Intel Core i5-12490F scores 3,686 in single-core performance and 20,309 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 8,652 for overall performance, 18,361 for productivity performance, 17,805 for creator performance, 20,182 for engineering performance and 16,135 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 3,385 per core, 1,692 per thread and 312 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,073. Its performance index is 107, so its overall performance is 7% above the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core i5-12490F scores 61,273 in integer math, 47,828 in floating-point math, 238,803 in compression, 12,104 in cryptography, 1,331 in physics simulation, 16,150 in vector SIMD, 85 in the prime sieve and 24,036 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 4% above in integer math, 4% above in floating-point math, 5% above in compression, 5% above in cryptography, 22% above in physics simulation, 4% above in vector SIMD, 27% above in the prime sieve and 6% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Core i5-12490F has 6 physical cores and runs 12 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.00 GHz and boosts up to 4.60 GHz.

The Intel Core i5-12490F is a desktop processor, belongs to the Intel Core i5 family, uses the Alder Lake architecture, carries the codename Alder Lake and is manufactured on a Intel 7 process. It launched in Feb 2022.

The Intel Core i5-12490F has 480 KB of L1 cache, 7.50 MB of L2 cache and 20 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 28.0 MB of cache, or 4.66 MB per core. Each core has 1.25 MB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Core i5-12490F has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 480 KB, L2 at 7.5 MB and L3 at 20 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 72% of the cache listed here.
