VERDICT
Recommended Ryzen™ 9 3950X
When 5 indexes agree, stop comparing and start budgeting. Match your cooling and board budget to up to 4.7 GHz, 16 / 32, 64 MB L3 cache. Narrow the lens to AI Capability before you argue with G-SCORE alone. Core™ i9-9900K 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.
