Performance index: geometric mean of bridged PassMark, Cinebench, Geekbench and Blender Open Data scores, regressed within each segment so server, desktop and notebook parts share their own scale. Sources: PassMark / Cinebench / Geekbench via Kaggle (CC0 Public Domain, 2022 snapshot); Blender Open Data (CC0, updated daily). Higher is better. Comparable within notebook processors only.
