VERDICT
Recommended Core™ i9-12900
Near tie on G-SCORE—Core™ i9-12900 is direction, not destiny (74 vs 72). up to 5.1 GHz, 16 / 24, 30 MB L3 cache explains why heavy loads stay smooth on Core™ i9-12900. The 6% edge in Content Creation Index is the usable takeaway. Budget or bundle deals can flip this pair despite G-SCORE. Heavy Content Creation Index users should weight Gaming Index (+9%), 6% higher on Content Creation Index heavily. More speed, more watts: ~22% is the receipt. The final word is your most-used software, not this page.
