Synthetic benchmarks

Each row says whether a higher or a lower number is better (ranks and times are lower-is-better). Scores come from Tom's Hardware, GadgetVersus, KitGuru, CGDirector, TechPowerUp, Notebookcheck, ocinside.de, TopCPU.net, Phoronix, Geekbench Browser, PC Guide, HardwareDB, CpuTronic, NanoReview, PassMark, HWBOT and HWBOT Community; 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.
