VERDICT
Recommended Core™ Ultra 9 Processor 285T
Core™ Ultra 9 Processor 285T takes the broad win; Core™ i9-12900KF keeps a niche or two. Spec sheet: 36 MB L3 cache, 24 / 24, up to 5.4 GHz—Core™ Ultra 9 Processor 285T is built for sustained load, not just burst. If Compute Index is your main lane, Core™ Ultra 9 Processor 285T’s ~13% index lead is the actionable signal. Budget or bundle deals can flip this pair despite G-SCORE. The largest practical gaps show up in in Efficiency Index: +17%, Compute Index (+13%)—if that is your week, Core™ Ultra 9 Processor 285T pays off. Double-check Compute Index if you skipped the middle sections.
