VERDICT
Recommended Ryzen™ 9 PRO 7940HS
Treat Ryzen™ 9 PRO 7940HS as a tie-breaker (73 vs 68); your workloads should override this line. The 27% edge in AI Capability is the usable takeaway. Heavy AI Capability users should weight AI Capability (+27%), on Value Index: +25% heavily. Totals say Ryzen™ 9 PRO 7940HS; obsessions say audit Efficiency Index, Compute Index for Core™ i9-9960X X-series. One tradeoff: Ryzen™ 9 PRO 7940HS trails by about 25% in efficiency index—you will want stronger cooling and power delivery. Double-check AI Capability if you skipped the middle sections.
