Synthetic benchmarks

Each row says whether a higher or a lower number is better (ranks and times are lower-is-better). Scores come from The FPS Review, 3DMark, HWBOT, ComputerBase, TopCPU.net, HWBOT Community, UL Benchmarks, TechPowerUp, Notebookcheck, CpuTronic, PC Perspective and PassMark; each row links its sources, and where they differ the cell shows their median. Empty cells mean we don't yet have that benchmark on file for the SKU.
