VERDICT

Recommended Core™ Ultra 9 Processor 285HX

Soft recommendation: lean Core™ Ultra 9 Processor 285HX; hard evidence: the indexes below. Narrow the lens to AI Capability before you argue with G-SCORE alone. Heavy AI Capability users should weight in Efficiency Index: +26%, AI Capability (~11% ahead) heavily. Spec sheet: up to 5.5 GHz, 36 MB L3 cache, 24 / 24—Core™ Ultra 9 Processor 285HX is built for sustained load, not just burst. Double-check AI Capability if you skipped the middle sections.
