In Unigine Heaven we received a score of 529, an average frames per second of 21, and a max frames per second of 48.3. Comparing that to Apple's 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro. The base model 13-inch MacBook Pro received a score of 784, and an average frames per second of 31.1 with a max frames per second of 66.7, while the top-spec 15-inch MacBook Pro with Vega 20 graphics pulled in a max FPS of 147.4 and an average of 82.3 with an overall score of 2072.

Why was my comment deleted?

It's quite clear that the graphics performance test done for the Surface Book 2 was incorrect.

No way did the Iris Plus graphics in the MacBook Pro 13 outperform a GTX 1050 2 GB. The Iris Plus 650 offers only 30% of the performance of the GTX 1050 2 GB.

It's just as innovative as iPhone except your face is stored in some unknown data center.

If by unknown data center, you mean processed and stored locally on the phone and not shared with any other service (including Google's own services). Then yes, it's going to an "unknown data center".

Keeping your data safe with Pixel 

Security and privacy are core principles for Pixel. Face unlock uses facial recognition technology that is processed on your device, so that image data never leaves your phone. The images used for face unlock are never saved or shared with other Google services. To protect your privacy and security, your face data is securely stored in Pixel's Titan M security chip. Similarly, Soli sensor data is also processed on your phone, and it’s never saved or shared with other Google services.

Looks amazing though I would like to see how the likely crippled $5999 version compares to similar PC workstations. I can't help thinking that the Apple Tax is back with a bang. The stuff looks like it's fantastically engineered (probably over the top for 90%). Anyone want to guess how much RAM the $5999 version will ship with?
We're talking a base version that's DOUBLE the price of the current base. That's a big jump in anyone's book.

An HP Z4 with the last-generation (=Skylake) 8 Core Xeon-W (i.e., W-2145) with 1000W chassis, 2x10Gb Ethernet, 32 GB (4x8) of RAM, 256 GB NVMe SSD, and AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 with 8 GB is $6965.

So that thinking is wrong. 

That's an extremely misleading comparison using a website price for a platform that originally launched in 2017 with superior NVIDIA options, a massive list of ISV certifications and an included 3 years of on-site warranty.

Interesting timing for the review given the redesigned 2019 version might only be a few months away.

The redesign should be using Intel's new 10 nm U series processors with up to Iris Plus graphics, up to 32 GB LPDDR4X and Thunderbolt 3 included.



Intel's Core i7-1065 G7 (15 W) with Iris Plus graphics and 32 GB RAM as seen inside the XPS 13 2-in-1:





Surface patent with USB-C:

 

Magnetic USB-C patent:



On a different note, it's a bit odd to see the keyboard being used flat like that. Typically it's elevated:

It definitely depends on the application, but it looks like the new 8 core i9 is giving a reasonable boost in performance over last year's 6 core i9 in real world applications:



Of course, the lack of NVIDIA graphics is unfortunate. It's a shame that Apple and NVIDIA couldn't sort out their differences.

Meanwhile, NVIDIA is pushing Quadro RTX 5000 laptops (falling under RTX Studio branding) to compete directly against the new MBP 15 for creators.

These things are in a completely different league than AMD's current mobile offerings in the MBP.

Also, the new 15" and 17" Studio models from Razer look rather familiar...
