VERDICT
Recommended Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 225
Reality check: only about 8% separates them—Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 225 is a soft default, not a mandate. Core™ Ultra 7 Processor 268V still has a case in Efficiency Index, Value Index—if that is your priority, ignore the total. Match your week against Content Creation Index ~+33%, Compute Index, leading ~23%—that is the practical test. Narrow the lens to Content Creation Index before you argue with G-SCORE alone. Electricity-heavy regions should price in ~43%. Double-check Content Creation Index if you skipped the middle sections.
