When gaming at 1080p with our NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, the Intel Core i7 and Core i5 both excel due to higher core frequency and IPC performance compared to AMD's Zen 3 core. It's worth highlighting that both architectures perform well enough to remain competitive, but Intel has the edge here.

    Need opinions:

    Should I go for a Surface Pro X SQ1, 128GB/8GB for $700 over a Surface Pro 7+ Core i5, 128GB/8GB for $800?

    I won't be using either for gaming...other than what's available in the Windows Marketplace.

    The Pro X allows for upgrading the storage. Don't know if the Pro 7+ allows that.

    No idea. I'd read through every review of the X you can find and see if it sounds like it'll fit your needs. Running Windows on an ARM-based CPU still sounds a little risky, but maybe it'll pay off in better battery life? Just a guess.

    Good luck with your decision.

    No offense, but....

    The reviews of these two CPUs seem just a tad.....'late to market'....!

    Spammer.

    2-3% better on average then a Ryzen 5600X for twice the power consumption? Does not seem high performance for me.
