Microsoft decided to go with the latest Intel 10th generation CPUs, codenamed Ice Lake. There were rumors that the company might choose Comet Lake processors. Both are 10th generation processors, but Ice Lake is done in a 10nm process, while Comet Lake is 14nm.

As for the CPU options, we have the Core i5-1035G7 and Core i7-1065G7 available. The Core i5 models do not offer dedicated graphics, while the 15-inch version of the Surface Book 3 only comes with the Core i7.

The GPU also got a real look. The 13.5-inch model gives you the 4GB Max-Q version of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, while the 15-inch model comes with a 6GB GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q.

On the screen side, we have a 3000×2000 screen in the 13.5-inch model, while the 15-inch offers a resolution of 3240×2160 pixels.
