Something with a dedicated GPU that can do mid range things like light gaming and GOU rendering for university students who need it. Microsoft need to release a laptop that can compete with the higher end laptops. I am a macbook pro user since 2014 and would not switch to SB4 as a primary but will definitely get it as a secondary if it has Ryzen or ARM. I hope Intel discovers a break through and my stock value goes up :)īTW, I am excited for SB4. Moores law is fading for Intel or at least, Intel is finding it difficult to catch up. One running i5 and other running Ryzen 5 4500U.Įvery expert in the industry knows, Intel is lagging in the processor lineup. AMD easily last 9 hrs of mixed usage on my mothers HP Envy x360 running AMD 4500U, the test device running i5 1021U could not even last full 6 hours with similar usage.įor benchmarks, I used Cinebench R2 on HP Envy x360 (both Intel and AMD versions). Fan on i5 started on turbo speed at about 5mins in the benchmarks. I did not hear the fan until 20mins past the benchmarks and that too very silent. Performance is at least 1.5x and thermal is at least 2x better. I ran benchmarks on both, AMD kills intel. I compared the specs on sheet for 4500U vs i5 1021U, AMD is clear winner. I don't own AMD processor device but my mother does. I was a big fan of Intel, but not any more. This is not Intel vs AMD debate, these are numbers talking. I wouldnt be surprised if the next version of surface book comes in ARM variant as well.Ĭoming back to the existing situation, AMD's thermal performance is multiple times better than Intel's. Besides all the obvious concerns that we all are anticipating when a new platform is introduced, lack of apps, stability concerns etc, windows has matured enough in its monolith architecture and hopefully with Surface pro x as the testing device for ARM based windows, we might have a pretty good chance to see surface book running ARM processors. We know MS is working on ARM version of their OS. For Surface Book, Microsoft must to switch to ARM architecture.
