VERDICT
Recommended Core™ i5-10600
If you already leaned Ryzen™ 5 5600X, this margin alone should not flip you. Match your cooling and board budget to up to 4.8 GHz, 12 MB L3 cache, 6 / 12. Match your week against on Content Creation Index: +21%, AI Capability ~+11%—that is the practical test. If Content Creation Index is your main lane, Core™ i5-10600’s ~21% index lead is the actionable signal. SFF builders: treat ~10% efficiency as a real constraint. Bottom line: treat “Recommended” as sort order—your main app index is still the judge.
