During the Surface Pro 8 tablet presentation this October , Microsoft has a big surprise in store for us… The tech giant will also be unveiling the Surface Go 3 tablet , which is said to be significantly more powerful than its predecessor, the Surface Go 2. Enough wasting time, let's get down to business!
Will the Surface Go 3 soon be available in two models?
According to information from Geekbench, the Surface Go 3 will be offered in two new versions . First, one model will feature an Intel Pentium Gold 6500Y processor paired with 4GB of RAM , and the other a Core i3-10100Y with 8GB of RAM. Note that both processors are very energy efficient.
Furthermore, the base configuration of the tablet would indeed include the Intel Pentium processor, which would significantly boost the device's performance. This translates to an increase of over 62% in single-core benchmarks and 47% in multi-core benchmarks . These figures are considerably higher than those offered by the Pentium Gold 4425Y .
The Core i3-10100Y processor, on the other hand, doesn't offer a particularly dramatic performance boost. It shows a 4% increase in single-core performance and 11% in multi-core benchmarks . However, the conclusion is very clear! Even the Core i3-10100Y is more advanced and efficient than the Core m3-8100Y processor found in the Surface Go 2 tablet .
