Insight

VERDICT

Recommended Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 235T

When 5 indexes agree, stop comparing and start budgeting. Budget or bundle deals can flip this pair despite G-SCORE. The largest practical gaps show up in by 22% on Compute Index, AI Capability by ~20%—if that is your week, Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 235T pays off. Narrow the lens to Compute Index before you argue with G-SCORE alone. SFF builders: treat ~43% efficiency as a real constraint. Double-check Compute Index if you skipped the middle sections.
