Insight

VERDICT

Recommended Ryzen™ 7 8700G

A 2% gap is a lean, not a verdict—Ryzen™ 7 8700G leads by a nose. Narrow the lens to Compute Index before you argue with G-SCORE alone. Heavy Compute Index users should weight Efficiency Index ~+16%, Compute Index (~3% ahead) heavily. Spec sheet: up to 5.1 GHz, 16 MB L3 cache, 8 / 16—Ryzen™ 7 8700G is built for sustained load, not just burst. Double-check Compute Index if you skipped the middle sections.
