VERDICT
Recommended Core™ i3-12300HL
Treat Core™ i3-12300HL as a tie-breaker (63 vs 61); your workloads should override this line. 12 MB L3 cache, 8 / 12, up to 4.4 GHz explains why heavy loads stay smooth on Core™ i3-12300HL. Narrow the lens to Content Creation Index before you argue with G-SCORE alone. Match your week against on Content Creation Index: +20%, 19% higher on Compute Index—that is the practical test. One tradeoff: Core™ i3-12300HL trails by about 42% in efficiency index—you will want stronger cooling and power delivery. Happy building—may this save you one wrong click in the cart.
