Synthetic benchmarks

Each row says whether a higher or a lower number is better (ranks and times are lower-is-better). Scores come from Digital Trends, Notebookcheck, 3DMark, Beebom, HWBOT, CpuTronic, TopCPU, HEXUS 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.
