The Core i5-12490F reaches 5.7GHz in overclocking
The Core i5-12490F is a chip 6-core, 12-thread Alder Lake with 20MB L3 cache and no integrated GPU. With PBP and MTP ratings of 65W and 117W, respectively, the Core i5-12490F runs at a base clock of 3GHz and a boost clock of 4.6GHz. However, an overclocker drove the CPU to 5.7 GHz (a 90% increase from the default frequency) by altering its TDP limit and increasing its BCLK to 142.53 MHz. In addition, the processor passed the validation of CPU-Z (as reported by well-known leaker @Tum_Apisak).

Unfortunately, the cooling system used is unknown, but we're sure it took something pretty efficient to accomplish this. Recall that the Core i5-12490F is not a typical six-core Alder Lake processor. Unlike its budget counterparts which use the so-called Alder Lake-6C die, this CPU is based on the full Alder Lake die with P and E cores, as well as a generous 20MB cache. For this reason, the Core i5-12490F is suspected to use recycled dies from the higher-end Core i7 models.

The Core i5-12490F will remain an officially distributed product only in China, but it is possible that it will also reach the West in some way.
