VERDICT
Recommended Core™ i5-13600
Both are viable. Core™ i5-13600 is slightly ahead overall; whether that matters depends on your apps. up to 5.0 GHz, 24 MB L3 cache, 14 / 20 explains why heavy loads stay smooth on Core™ i5-13600. Core™ i5-13500HX still has a case in Efficiency Index—if that is your priority, ignore the total. Narrow the lens to Content Creation Index before you argue with G-SCORE alone. SFF builders: treat ~29% efficiency as a real constraint. Bottom line: treat “Recommended” as sort order—your main app index is still the judge.
