As mentioned in the article at the time of the announcement (see Microsoft, "Surface Book 3 that can be equipped with 10th generation Core + Quadro RTX"), Surface Book 3 is a normal evolution version of Surface Book 2, and the enhancement point is CPU Has evolved from the 8th generation Core processor (development code name: Kaby Lake Refresh) to the 10th generation Core processor (development code name: Ice Lake), and the standalone GPU installed in the Core i7 model is GeForce. The point that it has evolved from GTX 1050 (2GB GDDR5, development code name: Pascal) to GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q Design (4GB GDDR5, development code name: Turing). As a result, the performance is greatly enhanced.
