Recommended Ryzen™ 9 PRO 9955
If one chip must cover everything, Ryzen™ 9 PRO 9955 is the safer bet here. Narrow the lens to Compute Index before you argue with G-SCORE alone. Core™ i9 processor 14901TE still has a case in AI Capability, Value Index—if that is your priority, ignore the total. 64 MB L3 cache, 12 / 24, up to 5.4 GHz explains why heavy loads stay smooth on Ryzen™ 9 PRO 9955. Heavy Compute Index users should weight on Compute Index: +27%, on Content Creation Index: +23% heavily. The final word is your most-used software, not this page.

The higher Gaming Index usually means smoother frame pacing and better minimums in CPU-sensitive games.
If Premiere, Blender, or OBS is daily work, Content Creation Index is more actionable than raw cores.
When you need sustained throughput, Compute Index is more informative than peak clock alone.
The higher AI Capability tends to have more headroom for local LLMs and Stable Diffusion-style workloads.
Efficiency is not just TDP—Efficiency Index captures the performance-per-watt balance.
The higher Value Index often delivers a better return on platform spend.
