So it would appear that the Broadwell Core M 5Y70 (highest performing part number) is a step backwards and still needs a fan. Even then, there is significant throttling making the Yoga 3 Pro perform worse than it's previous siblings.
In this test - the SP3 i5 outperforms it by around 50%.
So it would appear, Intel / Lenovo or both have some problems on their hands. So much for not needing a fan ... I'm actually quite disappointed if we waited this long for a "low average" TDP part number that was supposedly set to offer Haswell Core i5 U series performance in a fanless design.
