VERDICT
Recommended Core™ i9 processor 14900K
Multi-index story: Core™ i9 processor 14900K is the main pick; Ryzen™ 5 9600X is the niche alternate. Platform planning: match cooling and board tier to 36 MB L3 cache, 24 / 32, up to 6.0 GHz. Narrow the lens to AI Capability before you argue with G-SCORE alone. Ryzen™ 5 9600X still has a case in Value Index—if that is your priority, ignore the total. Double-check AI Capability if you skipped the middle sections.
