Synthetic benchmarks

Each row says whether a higher or a lower number is better (ranks and times are lower-is-better). Scores come from CGDirector, WePC, Notebookcheck, Guru3D, Geekbench Browser, HardwareDB, cpu-monkey.com, NanoReview, PassMark and numberworld.org; 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.
