VERDICT
Recommended Core™ i9-13900HX
Only about 5% apart—soft default to Core™ i9-13900HX. Core™ i9-12900KS still has a case in Value Index—if that is your priority, ignore the total. Match your week against Efficiency Index ahead 50%, by 7% on Compute Index—that is the practical test. Narrow the lens to Compute Index before you argue with G-SCORE alone. Double-check Compute Index if you skipped the middle sections.
