VERDICT
Recommended Ryzen™ 9 7900X
Clear margin: Ryzen™ 9 7900X leads ~17% and 4 of 6 indexes. up to 5.6 GHz, 12 / 24, 64 MB L3 cache explains why heavy loads stay smooth on Ryzen™ 9 7900X. If Efficiency Index, AI Capability outranks everything, Core™ i9-9980XE Extreme Edition is the honest pick. Narrow the lens to Content Creation Index before you argue with G-SCORE alone. SFF builders: treat ~8% efficiency as a real constraint. Double-check Content Creation Index if you skipped the middle sections.
