VERDICT
Recommended Core™ Ultra 7 Processor 266V
Sub-totals matter more here than the headline number. Narrow the lens to AI Capability before you argue with G-SCORE alone. Budget or bundle deals can flip this pair despite G-SCORE. Heavy AI Capability users should weight Efficiency Index ahead 62%, AI Capability, ~+7% heavily. Bottom line: treat “Recommended” as sort order—your main app index is still the judge.
