Intel Core 5 120HL vs Intel Core i5-14490F Comparison

The Intel Core 5 120HL and the Intel Core i5-14490F are both desktop processors on Intel Socket 1700 using Intel's 10 nm Raptor Lake architecture. The Core 5 120HL has no recorded benchmark scores, while the Core i5-14490F has a full set of Cinebench and PassMark results. The database records 0 direct wins for either processor because no shared head-to-head benchmark entries exist.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head table is empty. No shared test results connect the Core 5 120HL to the Core i5-14490F, so the database logs 0 wins for each side. The only performance evidence belongs to the i5-14490F. Its average benchmark score is 38149, placing it at the 86th percentile of all CPUs in the database. The Core 5 120HL has an average benchmark score of 0 and a percentile of 50, with no benchmark entries behind that record.

Within the i5-14490F's standalone suite, the Cinebench scores are: R15 multi-core 2318, R15 single-core 327, R20 multi-core 9660, R20 single-core 1363, R23 multi-core 23000, and R23 single-core 3247. The PassMark results are: data compression 340026, data encryption 18225, extended instructions 21731, find prime numbers 122, floating point math 66558, integer math 87844, multithread 28662, physics 2093, random string sorting 35608, and single-thread 3873.

The i5-14490F's average score of 38149 places it within 0.3% of its nearest recorded rivals. The Intel Core Ultra 5 245T records 38194, a delta of -0.1%. The Intel Core i5-13600KF records 38103, a delta of +0.1%. The AMD Ryzen 7 250 records 38221, a delta of -0.2%. The Intel Core i5-13600HX records 38261, a delta of -0.3%. The Core Ultra 5 245T, AMD Ryzen 7 250, and Core i5-13600HX all have higher average scores with negative deltas. The Core i5-13600KF has a lower average score with a positive delta. The Core 5 120HL has no nearest rivals in the database, so no equivalent positioning can be stated.

Architecture Differences

Both processors use Intel Socket 1700 and Intel's 10 nm process. Both are Raptor Lake architecture, but the codenames differ. The Core 5 120HL is Raptor Lake-PS and is listed under Core 5 (Raptor Lake-PS). The i5-14490F is Raptor Lake-R and is listed under Core i5 (Raptor Lake Refresh). The Core 5 120HL has 12 cores and 16 threads; the i5-14490F has 10 cores and 16 threads. Thread count is identical despite the core count difference.

The Core 5 120HL runs at 2.60 GHz base and 4.70 GHz boost, with a 45 W TDP. The i5-14490F runs at 2.50 GHz base and 5.00 GHz boost, with a 65 W TDP. Cache layouts differ. Both have 80 KB of L1 per core. The Core 5 120HL has 2 MB of L2 per core and 18 MB of shared L3. The i5-14490F has 1.25 MB of L2 per core and 24 MB of shared L3. The i5-14490F therefore carries the larger L3 cache, while the Core 5 120HL carries the larger per-core L2 cache.

Memory support is the same: DDR4 and DDR5, dual-channel, with no ECC support. PCIe connectivity differs. The Core 5 120HL provides Gen 4 with 8 lanes (CPU only). The i5-14490F provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics also differ: the Core 5 120HL has Iris Xe Graphics 80EU, while the i5-14490F has no integrated graphics. The i5-14490F has a recorded die size of 215 mm²; the Core 5 120HL's die size is not recorded.

The release dates are December 31, 2023 for the i5-14490F and April 7, 2024 for the Core 5 120HL. Both are active desktop parts with locked multipliers. The i5-14490F belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, while the Core 5 120HL has no series entry. Part numbers are SRN35 for the i5-14490F and SRPFR for the Core 5 120HL.

The Verdict

Strictly from the recorded data, the i5-14490F is the only processor with a measured performance profile. Its average benchmark score is 38149, its percentile is 86, and its Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 23000. The Core 5 120HL has no benchmark average, no benchmark entries, and a percentile of 50. For workloads where the database's Cinebench and PassMark results are the relevant evidence, the i5-14490F is the supported part.

The Core 5 120HL does have structural advantages in the specification record. It offers 12 cores versus 10 cores, a lower 45 W TDP versus 65 W, and integrated Iris Xe Graphics 80EU, which the i5-14490F lacks. The i5-14490F counters with a higher 5.00 GHz boost clock versus 4.70 GHz, a larger 24 MB shared L3 cache versus 18 MB, and PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes versus Gen 4 with 8 lanes. The i5-14490F also carries all of the recorded benchmark scores.

The data separates the two by role. The Core 5 120HL is the part with integrated graphics and lower TDP. The i5-14490F is the part with measured performance, higher boost clock, larger L3, and newer PCIe generation.
