Synthetic benchmarks

Each row says whether a higher or a lower number is better (ranks and times are lower-is-better). Scores come from TechPowerUp, Tom's Hardware, StorageReview, GadgetVersus, VividRepairs, PCGamesN, Geekbench Browser, PCSpecs.io, CpuTronic, HardwareDB, PassMark and Puget Systems; 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.
