Synthetic benchmarks

Each row says whether a higher or a lower number is better (ranks and times are lower-is-better). Scores come from Phoronix, The FPS Review, Notebookcheck, Tom's Hardware, Silent PC Review, PC Guide, Geekbench Browser, GadgetVersus, PassMark, Puget Systems 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.
