VERDICT
Recommended Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 235HX
Same tier, both fine; Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 235HX just crosses the G-SCORE line first. If Content Creation Index, Compute Index outranks everything, Core™ i5-13500 is the honest pick. The largest practical gaps show up in Efficiency Index (+39%), about +11% in AI Capability—if that is your week, Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 235HX pays off. If AI Capability is your main lane, Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 235HX’s ~11% index lead is the actionable signal. Bottom line: treat “Recommended” as sort order—your main app index is still the judge.
