Recommended Core™ i7-13645HX
Only about 6% apart—soft default to Core™ i7-13645HX. Platform planning: match cooling and board tier to up to 4.9 GHz, 24 MB L3 cache, 14 / 20. If Compute Index is your main lane, Core™ i7-13645HX’s ~13% index lead is the actionable signal. Budget or bundle deals can flip this pair despite G-SCORE. The largest practical gaps show up in Compute Index up +13%, Content Creation Index up +10%—if that is your week, Core™ i7-13645HX pays off. Electricity-heavy regions should price in ~5%. Happy building—may this save you one wrong click in the cart.

For gaming-first builds, Gaming Index is a better guide than core count alone.
A higher Content Creation Index generally helps with editing, rendering, streaming, and design workflows.
The higher Compute Index usually wins on compile jobs, VMs, and sustained compute workloads.
AI Capability combines ISA support, acceleration, and memory factors for on-device AI.
The higher Efficiency Index usually means less power and heat for similar performance.
On a budget, Value Index helps you spend on capability rather than badge value.
