It's been a few days since the Intel Core i5-12490P Alder Lake CPU has shown up which aims to be a better spec'd Core i5-12500F but with the hybrid die.
The Intel Core i5-12490P is a special Alder Lake chip that's been designed and sold exclusively to China. It features the C0 die which is the same used by all hybrid chips except the 12490P comes without hybrid cores. It packs 6 Golden Cove cores and 12 threads. The CPU being an F variant is excluded from iGPU support so the Xe-LP graphics that you'd otherwise find on the non-F chips is not there.
