Synthetic benchmarks
Each row says whether a higher or a lower number is better (ranks and times are lower-is-better). Scores come from TechPowerUp, Notebookcheck, Electronic Clinic, CGDirector, Gizbot, OC Inside, PC Guide, Geekbench Browser, HardwareDB, GadgetVersus, CPU-Monkey, NanoReview, PassMark and Tom's Hardware; 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.
