VERDICT
Recommended Core™ i9-12900T
Think of Core™ i9-12900T as the default sort, not the final answer. Match your cooling and board budget to up to 4.9 GHz, 30 MB L3 cache, 16 / 24. If Efficiency Index, Value Index outranks everything, Core™ i9-12900HK is the honest pick. The 12% edge in Content Creation Index is the usable takeaway. Heavy Content Creation Index users should weight about +12% in Content Creation Index, Compute Index (~8% ahead) heavily. More speed, more watts: ~22% is the receipt. The final word is your most-used software, not this page.
