VERDICT
Recommended Core™ i9-12900T
Near tie; your app list is the real tiebreaker. Platform planning: match cooling and board tier to up to 4.9 GHz, 30 MB L3 cache, 16 / 24. If Efficiency Index, Gaming Index outranks everything, Core™ i9-12900E is the honest pick. Scenario-first: Content Creation Index favors Core™ i9-12900T (~+2%). Heavy Content Creation Index users should weight Content Creation Index ~+2%, on Compute Index +2% heavily. Double-check Content Creation Index if you skipped the middle sections.
