Synthetic benchmarks
Each row says whether a higher or a lower number is better (ranks and times are lower-is-better). Scores come from NanoReview, Tom's Hardware, GadgetVersus, RankBench, CGDirector, PCSpecs.io, MaxMyBuild, HWBOT, PassMark, Geekbench Browser, HardwareDB, WCCFTech and TechSpot; 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.
