VERDICT
Recommended Core™ i5-13600
Reality check: only about 1% separates them—Core™ i5-13600 is a soft default, not a mandate. Spec sheet: up to 5.0 GHz, 24 MB L3 cache, 14 / 20—Core™ i5-13600 is built for sustained load, not just burst. Narrow the lens to AI Capability before you argue with G-SCORE alone. Ryzen™ 5 7600X still has a case in Value Index, Gaming Index—if that is your priority, ignore the total. The final word is your most-used software, not this page.
