Synthetic benchmarks

Each row says whether a higher or a lower number is better (ranks and times are lower-is-better). Scores come from Overclock3D, NoobFeed, Tom's Hardware, GadgetVersus, CGDirector, VividRepairs, Notebookcheck, Phoronix, Geekbench Browser, Overclocking.com, CpuTronic, BenchLeaks, WCCFTech, PassMark and HWBOT; 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.
