A mysterious Intel Core i5-12490F appears in china

If the entire Intel Alder Lake series was announced yesterday, today a mysterious Intel Core i5-12490F appears in China.

Apparently this model would initially be exclusive for the Chinese market, although as we well know it will not take long to see units in Chinese online stores such as Aliexpress.

This mysterious processor has 6 cores and 12 threads with a base clock of 3.0 GHz and a boost of up to 4.6 GHz. Those most used to technical data will sound like this configuration, and yes, they are the same as the Core i5-12500.

The only thing that changes with respect to the Core i5-12500 is that this Core i5-12490F, as you can see, is that it will not include the integrated Xe-LP graphics.

On the other hand, this Core i5-12490F will have more L3 cache than the aforementioned Core i5-12500, as it will have 20MB compared to the 18MB of the 12500.
