VERDICT
Recommended Core™ i5-13420H
Both are viable. Core™ i5-13420H is slightly ahead overall; whether that matters depends on your apps. The 13% edge in Compute Index is the usable takeaway. Match your week against Compute Index, +13%, by 8% on AI Capability—that is the practical test. Platform tax: Core™ i5-13420H gives up ~6% efficiency index—plan cooling and PSU accordingly. Double-check Compute Index if you skipped the middle sections.
