VERDICT
Recommended Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 225
Spread the six indexes out and Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 225 wins more of them—72 overall against 64, roughly 12% ahead. Match your cooling and board budget to 20 MB L3 cache, 10 / 10, up to 4.9 GHz. Totals say Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 225; obsessions say audit Efficiency Index for Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 125U. Narrow the lens to Content Creation Index before you argue with G-SCORE alone. Heavy Content Creation Index users should weight on Content Creation Index +25%, about +24% in Gaming Index heavily. More speed, more watts: ~49% is the receipt. Bottom line: treat “Recommended” as sort order—your main app index is still the judge.
