VERDICT
Recommended Core™ i9-12950HX
Both are viable. Core™ i9-12950HX is slightly ahead overall; whether that matters depends on your apps. 30 MB L3 cache, 16 / 24, up to 5.0 GHz explains why heavy loads stay smooth on Core™ i9-12950HX. If Content Creation Index, Compute Index outranks everything, Core™ i9-12900T is the honest pick. If power draw and thermals matter, Core™ i9-12950HX's ~29% lead in Efficiency Index usually means lower running cost. Heavy Efficiency Index users should weight on Efficiency Index +29%, on Gaming Index +1% heavily. Bottom line: treat “Recommended” as sort order—your main app index is still the judge.
