VERDICT
Recommended Core™ Ultra 7 Processor 164U
Recommend Core™ Ultra 7 Processor 164U, but keep Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 125UL within reach for budget deals. If AI Capability is your main lane, Core™ Ultra 7 Processor 164U’s ~11% index lead is the actionable signal. Budget or bundle deals can flip this pair despite G-SCORE. Spec sheet: up to 4.8 GHz, 12 MB L3 cache, 12 / 14—Core™ Ultra 7 Processor 164U is built for sustained load, not just burst. Stack Efficiency Index up +48%, AI Capability up +11% together—that is the everyday case for Core™ Ultra 7 Processor 164U. Double-check AI Capability if you skipped the middle sections.
