VERDICT
Recommended Core™ i5-13500
Same tier, both fine; Core™ i5-13500 just crosses the G-SCORE line first. Narrow the lens to Content Creation Index before you argue with G-SCORE alone. Match your week against Content Creation Index +6%, Compute Index, +5%—that is the practical test. Platform tax: Core™ i5-13500 gives up ~31% efficiency index—plan cooling and PSU accordingly. The final word is your most-used software, not this page.
