VERDICT
Recommended Ryzen™ 9 8945HS
Scores are nearly level (69 vs 66). Treat Ryzen™ 9 8945HS as a narrow default, then validate against the indexes you care about. The 24% edge in AI Capability is the usable takeaway. Heavy AI Capability users should weight about +26% in Value Index, AI Capability (~24% ahead) heavily. If Content Creation Index, Compute Index outranks everything, Core™ i9-7960X X-series is the honest pick. Double-check AI Capability if you skipped the middle sections.
