A Look At Microsoft Surface Pro 4
Very heavily built to resist denial of a smart technology, and with its gorgeous 13.5-inch 3,000 x 2,000-pixel display, and detachable tablet which again makes it outstanding but my overall impression about Surface Pro 4 is that, its perfect choice for PC average users as well as other Computer specialist, although for example Graphic designer, Video editors may not be a good choice. Also below is the result of the Microsoft's
claimed overwhelmed performance over apple rival.-By Denis Don
Surface Book is Actually Formula One With Speed as fast as three time than the Mac-book Pro recording to GPU benchmarks
So, here's a slick benchmark
comparison between the most elegant PC-device,
Apple MacBook Pro 13 and the new Microsoft
SurfaceBook. In their promotional
materials, Microsoft claims the Surface Book is "twice as fast"
as the MacBook Pro 13.Of course, that all depends on how
you benchmark it.The editors at PCWorld decided to
test this claim and the results are impressive.
So, here's a slick benchmark
comparison between the most elegant PC-device,
First, for clarity, PCWorld compared the
following devices:
Retina MacBook Pro 13 -
- Intel Broadwell Core i5-5752U - dual-core 28-watt chip
with a base clock speed of 2.7GHz
- Iris 6100 graphics
- 8GB of RAM
- PCIe SSD
- The latest El Capitan build of MacOS
Surface Book -
- Intel Skylake Core i5-6300U - dual-core 15-watt chip
with a base clock speed of 2.4GHz
- GeForce graphics
- 8GB of RAM
- PCIe SSD
- Windows 10
When
testing CPU performance, the products were relatively the same, with the
MacBook Pro edging barely ahead in most tests. Considering the clock speed of
both processors, this is unsurprising. This obviously refutes Microsoft's
claims of being 2x faster; however, CPU tests are not the only measure of a
computing product.
We can't forget that GPU performance is also very important for some
applications, especially gaming, rendering and graphics apps. You will notice
that the Iris 6100 graphics is what we see in the MacBook, whereas the GPU in
the Surface Book happens to be a GeForce. Now we are drilling down to the nitty
gritty.
When the PC World editors ran the two laptops through several graphics
benchmarks, (including LuxMark 3 OpenCL, Unigine's Heaven Benchmark, the newest
version of the game Tomb Raider, and Premiere Pro CC), the competition was a
whole different ballgame. In fact, the performance difference wasn't even fair.
To summarize with the benchmark that had the largest difference, the Surface
Book scored 74fps in the Tomb Raider benchmark, while the MacBook Pro score a
measly 23.6. That's over 3 times faster in GPU performance than Apple's device,
which means Microsoft was being a bit conservative on their marketing
hyperbole.
The rest of the GPU benchmarks were at least twice as fast, except for the
Luxmark 3, which was about 60% faster. The main thing we can take away from
this is that if you are wanting the Surface Book for mobile gaming or for
digital art rendering, then it is the clear winner by a long shot. Even at a
$1500 base price, its performance advantage was significant enough to warrant
that premium price.
What is your view?, its better for you also to experiment your innovative experience today.
