Powered the SP3 on this morning: Limited. Connecting to ASUS RT-AC66u. Turn airplane mode on/off - connected. Have latest firmware.

Seems to be slightly better - a sunspider test is hardly a good representation of "performance" IMO (at least in the way I use the SP). "Yes, it's unlikely it was 4.5W since most Intel CPUs can run at 125% or more of their official TDP for some time. Also as others noted it is way too fast to...

Wow!

This happened to me also but I think it may have occurred before the update. Not sure.

I don't think it will resume if you let it finish the first time. It doesn't seem to for me. I haven't found a way to turn it off but I imagine it will involve turning off some Microsoft Security Essentials options. I don't think it does it on battery.

This is the phenomenon I've documented and spoke about several times. My opinion is that the SP3 is doing background scanning (which probably requires scanning compressed files which would cause the system to decompress them) and the process is designed to run when you're not actively using the...

You're right - you've been "ignored".

I'm not displeased with the forum, I'm displeased by your constant whining on the same topic over and over.

Are you sure you're not being restricted by ISP? I installed updates (AC connection) and got 53mb/s from speedtest.net

No. You have a different gfx "card".

I did a quick render in Premiere 2014 - it's definitely better.

I've installed them and will run some Premiere and let you guys know. It does say 30% open CL increase so this should be a perfect test. Sorry I have no games installed...

Thanks for sharing your experience! If you're exchanging, I hope that helps. If you're returning and going back to SP2, enjoy it and maybe we'll see you around for SP4!

If you must try this, be sure you have the Microsoft Complete warranty...

I have a leather case that used to hold my notepad. It was given to me by a previous job. It now holds my SP3, 2TB Seagate drive, my SD cards, etc. It zips up nicely and I doubt my SP3 would break if it slid off my seat to the floor. I also have MS Complete. My point is that for something that...

If only you had listened to me originally, you could've saved yourself some stress...

We don't even know if the CPU will be faster. Intel is saying "similar performance". Possibly a downgrade - possibly not. Expectations are a mother______.

No. Return it, be happy with your SP2 i5, and quit trolling this forum.

1. Perhaps you have a faulty device? Exchange it or refresh and if it continues, exchange it. You've only installed 2 programs. 2. Let the SP3 run like I've suggested several times. It will not damage the SP3 and if it does, see option #1. Your warranty would cover it. 3. Return the SP3 and...
