Synthetic benchmarks

Each row says whether a higher or a lower number is better (ranks and times are lower-is-better). Scores come from The FPS Review, CGDirector, GadgetVersus, HardwareCooking, CGMagazine, Trusted Reviews, WePC, CpuTronic, HardwareDB, Geekbench Browser, PassMark, Tom's Hardware 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.
