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, WePC, KitGuru, TechPowerUp, Notebookcheck, ocinside.de, TechSpot, Overclocking.com, TopCPU.net, Phoronix, Geekbench Browser, NanoReview, PC Guide, HardwareDB, Igor's Lab, Club386 and PassMark; 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.
