VERDICT
Recommended Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 235U
Think of Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 235U as the default sort, not the final answer. If gaming is your main use case, Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 235U's ~2% lead in Gaming Index is more actionable than core count alone. Match your week against Gaming Index (+2%), Efficiency Index +1%—that is the practical test. Spec sheet: up to 4.9 GHz, 12 MB L3 cache, 12 / 14—Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 235U is built for sustained load, not just burst. Double-check Gaming Index if you skipped the middle sections.
