The Surface Go 3's CPU choices don't look that impressive on paper. While benchmarks and performance numbers are not plentiful for either of these chips - we will have our own set of numbers once we have a Go 3 in for testing - we can compare them to the older Go 2 CPUs. This isn't a huge bump in power, and it's looking like the same issue of 'barely enough' that we saw in the Surface Go 2 will be true once again. It's now available with either an Intel Pentium Gold 6500Y or a 10th Gen Intel Core i3-10100Y. The Surface Go 3 saw mostly a performance upgrade.
