Is the best Surface Book 3 significantly faster than the best Surface Book 2? After comparing the technical data, I am unsure.

Helpful answer

I own the Surface Book 2 15" myself.

Processor:
=> SB2 has an i7-8650u installed.
=> SB3, on the other hand, has an i7-1065G7.
A processor comparison shows that the new one is slightly faster in all areas, and significantly faster in some areas:

What about the RAM?
=> The SB2 has LPDDR3 installed.
=> The SB3, on the other hand, has LPDDR4. Thus also somewhat faster

Graphics card?
SB2=> GeForce GTX 1060
SB3 => GeForce GTX 1660 or even the even better NVIDIA Quadro RTX 3000

Otherwise, there are other changes where the 3 is simply better, e.g. WiFi 5 vs WiFi 6.

For myself, it's not worth the upgrade from the SB2. I use the SB2 for business and will stay with it for now.
