Sub-totals matter more here than the headline number. Platform planning: match cooling and board tier to up to 5.2 GHz, 30 MB L3 cache, 16 / 24. If Content Creation Index is your main lane, Core™ i7-13700’s ~13% index lead is the actionable signal. Budget or bundle deals can flip this pair despite G-SCORE. Heavy Content Creation Index users should weight Content Creation Index, ~+13%, Gaming Index up +10% heavily. SFF builders: treat ~35% efficiency as a real constraint. The final word is your most-used software, not this page.

The higher Gaming Index usually means smoother frame pacing and better minimums in CPU-sensitive games.
If Premiere, Blender, or OBS is daily work, Content Creation Index is more actionable than raw cores.
When you need sustained throughput, Compute Index is more informative than peak clock alone.
The higher AI Capability tends to have more headroom for local LLMs and Stable Diffusion-style workloads.
Efficiency is not just TDP—Efficiency Index captures the performance-per-watt balance.
The higher Value Index often delivers a better return on platform spend.
