The difference in RAM is below the threshold you would notice. The other 35 rows have no threshold or no direction to judge by, so nobody wins them.

Specifications
A win is marked only where the figures can be ranked and the gap is one you could notice. A row the site has no threshold for says whether the two differ, and that it is not ranking them. = marks the same figure on both, ≠ not ranked a difference with no ranking. Every figure carries its source.
