VERDICT
Recommended Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 235TA
Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 235TA takes the broad win; Core™ i5-12600HX keeps a niche or two. The 17% edge in Compute Index is the usable takeaway. The biggest gaps show up in Compute Index (+17%), 15% higher on Content Creation Index; if that is your daily work, Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 235TA is the easier pick. Core™ i5-12600HX still has a case in Efficiency Index—if that is your priority, ignore the total. SFF builders: treat ~26% efficiency as a real constraint. Bottom line: treat “Recommended” as sort order—your main app index is still the judge.
