Synthetic benchmarks

Each row says whether a higher or a lower number is better (ranks and times are lower-is-better). Scores come from Gamers Nexus, Overclock3D, NoobFeed, Benchmark.pl, GadgetVersus, CGDirector, VividRepairs, ITC.ua, Geekbench Browser, NanoReview, Notebookcheck, Overclocking.com, BenchLeaks, Wccftech, 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.
