VERDICT
Recommended Core™ i5-10600K
Near tie on G-SCORE—Core™ i5-10600K is direction, not destiny (62 vs 61). Stack Content Creation Index, +26%, AI Capability leading +11% together—that is the everyday case for Core™ i5-10600K. Narrow the lens to Content Creation Index before you argue with G-SCORE alone. Spec sheet: 12 MB L3 cache, 6 / 12, up to 4.8 GHz—Core™ i5-10600K is built for sustained load, not just burst. More speed, more watts: ~30% is the receipt. Happy building—may this save you one wrong click in the cart.
