Basically, the info is in the link.

Can't wait to see how the 2.4 Ghz version performs. Also, how will the GPU do against, say, the iPad 4.

It'll certainly be interesting, and even more so if we also see a Surface Pro 2 equipped with Haswell! Although, to be fair, you'll probably be comparing it to an iPad 5 as Apple will most likely unveil their mobile refresh within a month's time.

4 real cores @ up to 2.4GHz (improved IPC vs Cloverview), 2W SDP (most power efficient Haswell chips have 4.5-6W SDP). Certainly interesting, lets hope it performs well and convinces OEMs to release good quality 8-10'' Windows 8.1 tablets for a reasonable price.

I'm hoping microsoft expands the surface line-up with an 8" bay trail tablet, if performance is good that would be my next tech purchase.

It'll be interesting to see how cheap these smaller Atom-based tablets actually get. If they actually reach ~ $200 levels and battery life and performance is good, where does that leave Windows RT?

Personally, I am expecting Intel-based tablets to start at around $400, with Windows RT taking the sub-$400 market position...
