Intel · Core i5 · 2019 · LGA1151
The Intel Core i5-9500F is a desktop processor with 6 cores, released in 2019. It is part of the Core i5 lineup, using the 9th Gen platform, and fits the LGA1151 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Coffee Lake Refresh" architecture. The Core i5-9500F has a base clock of 3 GHz and can boost up to 4.4 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. Intel manufactures the "Coffee Lake Refresh" silicon on a 14nm process node. Its multiplier is locked, so any overclocking has to come from raising the base clock rather than the multiplier. This processor supports DDR4 memory. With a TDP of 65W, the Core i5-9500F is an efficient chip suitable for modest cooling solutions. This processor has no integrated graphics — a discrete GPU is required. The cache hierarchy consists of 32KB/core of L1, 1.5MB of L2, and 9MB of L3 cache.
F-series: no integrated graphics.
