For anyone considering a Pro 3 for gaming, Anandtech say Pro 3 only has half the gaming performance of the Pro 2, which isn't amazing for gaming anyway.
Does that apply to the SP3 i7 as well since it has hd5000 graphics?
That summarizes EXACTLY what I was expecting as well... not better, but similar performance to my SP2. Unfortunately, that is not the case.Disappointing Have been considering the upgrade to the SP3 just for the lighter weight and screen and accepting the performance would be the same, but not going to take a hit on the very limited gaming I sometimes do on it because of the throttling.
My fear is that MS will be tempted to go with a fanless design thus seriously limiting the performance.The SP4 with Broadwell will be the one to get!
Some think the fan that runs at a barely audible 30-40 DB is too loud.My fear is that MS will be tempted to go with a fanless design thus seriously limiting the performance.
Please don't put that horrible thought in my head!!!! That's why I'm so vocal across the board regarding throttling... it's not that I don't still love the Surface line, I just HATE a new version that is SLOWER THAN THE LAST!!!My fear is that MS will be tempted to go with a fanless design thus seriously limiting the performance.
