Even after announcing more than 50 new processors
during CES in Las Vegas, Intel may surprise us.
After having first mentioned the Core H-Series range and the mobile processor “ the fastest »Never produced (the Core i9-12900HK), Intel therefore took advantage of CES 2022 in Las Vegas to, in addition, lift the veil on the P-Series and U-Series ranges presenting a total of more than 50 processors during the show from Nevada.
Very close to the Core i5-12500
Obviously, the American founder still had some under his belt and our colleagues from Videocardz relay information that we did not expect: a Core i5-12490F whose essential feature is to be reserved for the Chinese market.
This is a model with 6 performance cores for a total of 12 threads. It is clocked at a frequency of 3 GHz and can climb up to 4.6 GHz in boost. Specifications strictly identical to those of the Core i5-12500, but it stands out on a few points.
Thus, belonging to the ‘F’ range, it does not include a graphics solution. It also has more level 3 cache (20 MB against 18 MB). Finally, it will be distributed without the new Intel cooling system. Nothing revolutionary then, but it is the approach that questions.
