More play time in the Microsoft store today. This time I messed with the Surface Pro 4. As a 3 user, the device is noticeably thinner. The display model had the same processer as the display Surface Book, the i5-6300u.
Curious if the form factor would limit the ability of the processor, I ran Google Octane several times on Edge. The scores were all about the same I saw on the Surface Book, just above 29,000. No noticeable throttling after a half dozen runs.
I also tried loading up tabs and running some other tasks, but I couldn't get the fan to come on (at least that I could tell).
Finally, I really wanted to run 3dmark or Gfx Bench, but alas no go. I could only install Windows Store apps; Futuremark removed 3dmark from the store over the summer and Gfx bench would install, but when I attempted to run it would just provide an error "couldn't connect to server."
