VERDICT
Recommended Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 225U
Both are viable. Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 225U is slightly ahead overall; whether that matters depends on your apps. Match your cooling and board budget to up to 4.8 GHz, 12 / 14, 12 MB L3 cache. Scenario-first: AI Capability favors Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 225U (~+13%). Core™ i5-12600H still has a case in Compute Index—if that is your priority, ignore the total. Bottom line: treat “Recommended” as sort order—your main app index is still the judge.
