VERDICT
Recommended Core™ i9-12900HX
Sub-totals matter more here than the headline number. Platform planning: match cooling and board tier to 30 MB L3 cache, 16 / 24, up to 5.0 GHz. Narrow the lens to AI Capability before you argue with G-SCORE alone. Core™ Ultra 7 Processor 155HL still has a case in Compute Index, Content Creation Index—if that is your priority, ignore the total. Match your week against on Efficiency Index: +32%, 8% higher on Gaming Index—that is the practical test. The final word is your most-used software, not this page.
