Your geek bench numbers are completely , completely wrong. 5K single and 18K multi at its lowest clock speed......I had such difficulty reading through this comparison that  I was expecting to find some sanity by sifting through the comments. I’m in complete shock at the misinformation here. I own both an iPad Pro 12.9” and a surface book 2. I just ordered the surface book 3 with quadro graphics. I am a designer, draftsperson, 3D model creator and rendering artist. I love my iPad for a great number of things that it excels at...it is not, not even a little bit, a solution for production based tools that require better hardware and the full power of a desktop-rated OS. Even if we could port MacOS,  No way in hell my iPad could run even 1 of the 10 applications I use on a weekly basis...it doesn’t have the hardware. It is not comparable as it is not capable. It cannot use any of the Adobe suite applications which is why Adobe created trimmed down versions for iOS. Whew...I thought about really digging deep and listing the thousands of operations that the iPad can’t handle and just decided it is such a waste of effort. These two devices are not comparable, their is no argument there. The tablet portion of the surface book 3 has enough graphic fidelity to handle OpenGL based vector graphics from all of the top applications in the industry. Nuff said, iPad cannot. That’s ignoring the fact that the keyboard portion can remain attached and reversed, creating a tablet that sports some of the best Mobile GPU’s in the industry, albeit a heavy tablet. We’re talking about a device that sports 240 tensor cores and can be carried around in one arm.
