VERDICT
Recommended Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 225
Both are viable. Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 225 is slightly ahead overall; whether that matters depends on your apps. up to 4.9 GHz, 20 MB L3 cache, 10 / 10 explains why heavy loads stay smooth on Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 225. Core™ Ultra 7 Processor 164U still has a case in Efficiency Index—if that is your priority, ignore the total. Scenario-first: Content Creation Index favors Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 225 (~+24%). One tradeoff: Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 225 trails by about 54% in efficiency index—you will want stronger cooling and power delivery. Bottom line: treat “Recommended” as sort order—your main app index is still the judge.
