Intel Core i5-13490F Processor

The Intel Core i5-13490F is a desktop processor with 10 cores, launched in February 2023, at an MSRP of $235. It is part of the Core i5 lineup, using the Raptor Lake architecture with Socket 1700. Intel Hyper-Threading technology is available and effectly doubles the core-count of the P-Cores, to a total of 16 threads. Core i5-13490F has 24 MB of L3 cache and operates at 2.5 GHz by default, but can boost up to 4.8 GHz, depending on the workload. Intel is building the Core i5-13490F on a 10 nm production process, the transistor count is unknown. The multiplier is locked on Core i5-13490F, which limits its overclocking capabilities.

With a TDP of 65 W, the Core i5-13490F consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. Intel's processor supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory with a dual-channel interface. For communication with other components in the system, Core i5-13490F uses a PCI-Express Gen 5 connection. This processor does not have integrated graphics, you will need a separate graphics card.
