VERDICT

Recommended Core™ Ultra 7 Processor 265

Recommend Core™ Ultra 7 Processor 265, but keep Core™ i7 processor 14700F within reach for budget deals. Platform planning: match cooling and board tier to up to 5.3 GHz, 20 / 20, 30 MB L3 cache. Scenario-first: AI Capability favors Core™ Ultra 7 Processor 265 (~+11%). Budget or bundle deals can flip this pair despite G-SCORE. SFF builders: treat ~6% efficiency as a real constraint. Bottom line: treat “Recommended” as sort order—your main app index is still the judge.
