![]() ![]() While the Intel trounces the AMD when it comes to benchmarks, there is a performance-related point that works in the favour of the AMD version.ĭespite both processors having integrated graphics, neither are capable of graphically intensive work no matter how high you go in the range. Related: Surface Laptop 3 vs Surface Laptop 2 This obviously means that you can’t shop around at other retailers like you can for the AMD version but that is really the only downside. You can simply go to the Surface for Business online store and purchase it. There are no special registration or verification requirements to buy the Surface Laptop 3 15 Intel version. The next question is then: why wouldn’t you buy the Intel version? The most striking hurdle is the fact the Intel version is only available from the Surface for Business store. For this performance advantage though, you’ll have to pay £80 extra. Intel does seem to have a big advantage when it comes to multi-core performance though, which means its better able to cope with multiple intensive applications simultaneously. ![]() The benchmark results show there’s not a huge difference between the processors. The Intel version comes with Windows 10 Pro (due to its business slant) and WiFi 6 while the AMD is bog-standard Windows 10 Home and WiFi 5. Just a reminder that these two machines are exactly the same except for the difference in processor and a few lesser variations. ![]() The AMD model costs £2049 and the Intel costs £2129. The two models we tested featured the 2.3GHz AMD Ryzen 7 3780U and the 1.3GHz Intel Core i7-1065G7, while both sported 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. While the Intel version includes the company’s new Ice Lake processors – either the Core i5-1035G7 or i7-1065G7. The AMD version sports either a Ryzen 5 3580U or a Ryzen 7 3780U chip depending on the specification you pick. So which one should you buy? Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty that is the performance of the processors in these two laptops. VI Video was already generated for this page. ![]()
