Our Overview Rating 7 / 10

Intel Core i5-14490F strides into 2024, bringing an impressive 10 cores to mainstream desktops. This brand-new hybrid CPU leverages Intel’s refined 10nm process, packing performance inside a competitive 65W TDP envelope.

The 14490F temperately starts at a 2.5GHz base, then opportunistically ramps up to 5GHz turbo speeds on the fly for snappy single-threaded jobs. All while keeping power draw reasonable thanks to the efficient 65W TDP. Six performance cores join forces with four efficiency cores, multiplied by HyperThreading for 16 threads ready to crank through tasks.

A sizable 24MB of L3 cache feeds data to the heterogeneous mix of cores to optimize throughput. All are resting on Intel’s latest long-lived Socket 1700 platform. For media creators, gamers, and performance-demanding users building a 2024 system, the Core i5-14490F lands an enticing balance of speed and value.
