VERDICT
Recommended Core™ i9-13900T
A 6% gap is a lean, not a verdict—Core™ i9-13900T leads by a nose. Spec sheet: up to 5.3 GHz, 36 MB L3 cache, 24 / 32—Core™ i9-13900T is built for sustained load, not just burst. Budget or bundle deals can flip this pair despite G-SCORE. If Compute Index is your main lane, Core™ i9-13900T’s ~11% index lead is the actionable signal. Heavy Compute Index users should weight Efficiency Index up +22%, by 11% on Compute Index heavily. Tight scores demand calm—confirm Compute Index before four words decide for you.
