VERDICT
Recommended Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 125H
Tight score: Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 125H is the slightly safer starting point, period. The 20% edge in AI Capability is the usable takeaway. Match your week against AI Capability (+20%), about +6% in Compute Index—that is the practical test. More speed, more watts: ~6% is the receipt. Bottom line: treat “Recommended” as sort order—your main app index is still the judge.
