VERDICT
Recommended Core™ i9-10900K
Sub-totals matter more here than the headline number. Match your cooling and board budget to 20 MB L3 cache, 10 / 20, up to 5.3 GHz. Ryzen™ 9 180 still has a case in Efficiency Index, AI Capability—if that is your priority, ignore the total. Scenario-first: Content Creation Index favors Core™ i9-10900K (~+24%). The largest practical gaps show up in Content Creation Index (+24%), Gaming Index ahead 14%—if that is your week, Core™ i9-10900K pays off. Platform tax: Core™ i9-10900K gives up ~34% efficiency index—plan cooling and PSU accordingly. Double-check Content Creation Index if you skipped the middle sections.
