VERDICT
Recommended Core™ Ultra 7 Processor 258V
Tight score: Core™ Ultra 7 Processor 258V is the slightly safer starting point, period. Match your cooling and board budget to 12 MB L3 cache, 8 / 8, up to 4.8 GHz. Budget or bundle deals can flip this pair despite G-SCORE. Narrow the lens to AI Capability before you argue with G-SCORE alone. Match your week against Efficiency Index leading +54%, Value Index (~15% ahead)—that is the practical test. Bottom line: treat “Recommended” as sort order—your main app index is still the judge.
