Microsoft Surface Book 3 15 Convertible Review: Still great, but is it better than its predecessor?

88% Microsoft Surface Book 3 15 Convertible Review: Still great, but is it better than its predecessor?

Battle of generations. We are pushing the almost unrivaled 15-inch convertible Surface Book 3 through our various test scenarios. Both the tablet hardware (i7 Ice Lake, G7 graphics) and the convertible hardware (GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q) look even more impressive compared to the predecessor (i7 Kaby Lake refresh, GTX 1060). But is the current model actually more powerful and is the difference noticeable enough to warrant an upgrade? These are questions we will attempt to answer in our review.

Intel's Tiger Lake Xe iGPU is almost three times faster than the Ice Lake Iris Plus G7 iGPU and up to 40% faster than the AMD Vega 8 Renoir iGPUs in Battlefield V

While still not a threat to any decent currently available laptop dGPU, the Xe iGPU that will be featured in the Tiger Lake processors launching later this year should still be quite a significant improvement over the Ice Lake iGPUs. Our tests show that the Xe iGPU could even beat the Vega 8 iGPU in the Renoir APUs.
