VERDICT
Recommended Core™ i9-12950HX
Near tie on G-SCORE—Core™ i9-12950HX is direction, not destiny (74 vs 72). Platform planning: match cooling and board tier to up to 5.0 GHz, 16 / 24, 30 MB L3 cache. The 1% edge in Content Creation Index is the usable takeaway. Core™ i5 processor 14500HX still has a case in Value Index—if that is your priority, ignore the total. Double-check Content Creation Index if you skipped the middle sections.
