Tested: How fast is the Microsoft Surface Pro 7+ versus the Surface Pro 7?

Microsoft’s Surface Pro 7+ (or Surface Pro 7 Plus) launched unexpectedly last month, stepping up from the Surface Pro 7’s 10th-gen Intel Ice Lake chips to 11th-gen Tiger Lake Core chips. The question we immediately had was: Is the Surface Pro 7+ worth the upgrade?We’ll have to wait until we complete our Surface Pro 7+ review to answer that question fully. But so far, we’ve been somewhat shocked by the performance we’ve seen from the new model. In this story, we begin to answer two related que

Intel benchmarks say Apple's M1 isn't faster. Let's reality-check the claims

After months of silence about Apple’s impressive M1 chip, Intel just clapped back with a carefully crafted takedown of the Arm-based chip. It isn’t pretty.Intel said its testing shows: An 11th gen Core i7-1185G7 can match or greatly exceed the M1’s performance in a MacBook Pro in both native and non-native applications. In battery life, it’s pretty much a wash. The MacBook Pro wouldn’t pass muster to be certified as an Evo laptop. The M1 just won’t run a lot of software. The new MacBooks have

Going forward, Nvidia will require laptop makers to reveal the power and clock speed details for the GeForce GPU inside each system, along with supported Max-Q technologies, the company told PCWorld.It’s a big deal. With the RTX 30-series, Nvidia transitioned its “Max-Q” name away from signaling that a gaming la

How to see your PC game's frame rate with Steam's FPS counter

Do you need a faster graphics card? Only if your games aren’t running as smoothly as you’d like. Fortunately, Steam includes a feature that displays the current frame rate of the game you’re playing in the corner of the screen, and you can turn it on very easily.I wouldn’t advise using frame rate counters normally, lest you give in to the insidious desire to upgrade based on raw numbers rather than actual playability. Most PC gamers consider 60 frames per second (fps) to be the gold standard
