Core i5-13490F Black Edition is an Intel exclusive for China
The Intel Core i5-13490F Black Edition is sold exclusively in China. It has more cache than the regular Core i5-13400F and a higher frequency. Initially, this processor was slightly more expensive than the Core i5-13400F, but now its price on the JD.com site has dropped below $ 200 – and the Core i5-13490F Black Edition has become even more affordable (only $ 5, but nonetheless) Core i5 -13400F.
The Core i5-13490F Black Edition runs at up to 4.8GHz. This processor has 24 MB L3 cache and 9.5 MB L2 cache. Compared to Core i5-13400F, 20% more cache, 4% higher frequencies.
Intel Core i5-13490F Black Edition is not only more powerful than the Core i5-13400F
Of course, such a difference in parameters could not but affect performance: with a CPU-Z Core i5-13490F Black Edition, it is faster by about 8.5% in a multi-threaded test and by about 5% in a single-threaded test.
By the way, another Chinese exclusive from Intel also fell in price: the cost of the Core i7-13790F Black Edition dropped from $422 to $404.
