Insight

VERDICT

Recommended Core™ Ultra 9 Processor 285K

Only about 0% apart—soft default to Core™ Ultra 9 Processor 285K. The 12% edge in AI Capability is the usable takeaway. Core™ i9 processor 14900HX still has a case in Efficiency Index, Gaming Index—if that is your priority, ignore the total. Match your cooling and board budget to up to 5.7 GHz, 24 / 24, 36 MB L3 cache. Heavy AI Capability users should weight AI Capability +12%, Value Index leading +5% heavily. SFF builders: treat ~33% efficiency as a real constraint. Double-check AI Capability if you skipped the middle sections.
