VERDICT
Recommended Core™ Ultra 7 Processor 266V
Reality check: only about 4% separates them—Core™ Ultra 7 Processor 266V is a soft default, not a mandate. Totals say Core™ Ultra 7 Processor 266V; obsessions say audit Content Creation Index for Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 238V. Heavy AI Capability users should weight 10% higher on AI Capability, Gaming Index leading +9% heavily. Narrow the lens to AI Capability before you argue with G-SCORE alone. Happy building—may this save you one wrong click in the cart.
