What the Core i5-14490F is
The Core i5-14490F is a 10-core and 16-thread desktop processor that Intel launched in January 2024 for regional office and gaming builds. Six Performance-cores with 12 threads plus 4 Efficient-cores give 16 threads at 2.5 GHz P-core base and up to 5.0 GHz P-core turbo. Cache is 24 MB of Smart Cache. Processor base power is 65 W, which fits tower and small-form PCs with standard airflow.
No integrated GPU is present, so a discrete graphics card is required for any display. The CPU speed matches 14400-class hybrids on cores and clocks, with extra L3 over the 20 MB tier for larger working sets. DDR5-4800 or DDR4-3200 board options and 20 PCIe lanes carry over intact.
Budget gaming with a mainstream card fits here. Ten cores keep streaming plus play smooth where 6-core parts queue. Buyers who need backup display without a card should take the graphics version instead, since this F SKU stays dark without a GPU. Offices with existing cards save money with the F suffix.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The 14490F fits LGA 1700 on 600 and 700 series boards with Raptor Lake Refresh firmware. H610, B660, B760, H770, Z690 and Z790 list the SKU where BIOS is current. Board video ports stay inactive, so the discrete GPU in the x16 slot provides all displays.
Memory is DDR5-4800 or DDR4-3200 in two channels up to 192 GB. Discrete graphics use system RAM only for assets, so dual-channel kits remain preferred. Regional availability centers on specific markets, so board bundles vary by country.
Shoppers compare F against non-F on graphics need alone. CPU throughput is otherwise equal to the graphics twin. The Socket vs chipset: what decides whether a CPU works guide covers 600 series BIOS updates for Raptor Lake-R.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
DDR5-4800 or DDR4-3200 in dual channels feeds ten cores. Gaming with a mainstream card benefits from dual modules. Capacity planning follows game and office loads rather than graphics sharing.
PCIe gives 16 Gen5 plus 4 Gen4 lanes. The x16 link serves the discrete GPU at full width while Gen4 x4 serves NVMe. No lanes are lost to integrated graphics on F SKUs.
Cooling is 65 W class with Laminar-class heatsinks and 154 W turbo headroom. Case airflow decides repeat 5.0 GHz behavior. Tower coolers cut noise further.
Upgrade paths
The LGA socket allows moves on the same board to graphics versions or higher i5 hybrids. Memory, GPU and NVMe can also grow. BIOS must list the target.
A working 14490F lasts years with GPU care. A move to LGA 1851 needs a new board.
Frequently asked questions
What socket does the Core i5-14490F use?
It uses LGA 1700 on 600 and 700 series boards. A discrete GPU is required.
How fast is the Core i5-14490F?
Ten cores and 16 threads at 2.5 GHz base and up to 5.0 GHz boost, with 24 MB of cache at 65 W.
