Therefore, throttling is not a normal scenario but a thermal protection mechanism. We have already mentioned that the chip can maintain 2.9 GHz when you only stress the processor. It also reached up to 64 ☌ (~147 ☏) at one time and obviously exceeded certain limits, which caused the throttling. However, this stress test is designed to find the thermal limits of PCs, and the tablet manages to keep the chip at a steady temperature of 54 ☌ (~130 ☏). At just 1.4 GHz in this case, the SoC is very far away from its reference clock, so there is strong throttling that starts right away. It gets really warm under extreme load a maximum of 52 ☌ (~126 ☏) at some spots can be uncomfortable on the lap or in the hands. The average value is in the mid-30s (~95 ☏), which is just okay. We were able to measure up to 40 ☌ (~104 ☌) at some spots while idling without the fan. The warming of the tablet is always clearly perceptible, which is mainly a result of the passive cooling with the conveniently silent operation. The results in CrystalDiskMark are more realistic, where the write transfer rates are almost doubled. You can notice the very fast reading results, but the 4K test also shows a low write score that is beaten by every hard drive.

The 256 GB version of the Surface Pro 4 uses an SSD from Toshiba and the scores are shown in the last two screenshots. That this is not the case is evident when you see the AS SSD copy benchmark, where the transfer rates got a bump from 63 to 105 MB/s.

There are differences between the default drive and the Samsung driver (update) in CrystalDiskMark, but they are so small that it could be a normal variation.

We did not notice the low 4K Write transfer rates of the Surface Pro 4 m3, so it is not really necessary to install the Samsung driver. AS SSD does not show any changes after a restart and the individual scores are pretty much identical. Nevertheless, we tested the Samsung driver for the NVMe SSD 950 Pro and can see small performance improvements (see right screenshot). We use the performance figures with the factory settings in our database we check the hardware as they are shipped to the user and usually do not install new drivers. The results are pretty much identical to the Surface Pro 4 with the Core m3, which is equipped with the same Samsung SSD. Obviously, the module is soldered onto the motherboard and cannot be replaced. The NVMe (NVM Express) interface, which was originally designed for server applications, connects the storage via PCI Express with the motherboard.

The Samsung MZFLV128 provides 87 GB of free storage, the rest is occupied by Windows 10 and a recovery partition. Analyzing our readings, it does not seem to be classic PWM but some other form of flickering. Now we could also measure flickering at 50 Hz below 50 percent brightness without a connected power adapter. Update : Thanks to a readers tip, who told us that he is suffering from problems caused by flickering / PWM, we looked at the Core i5 version again with the newest firmware and drivers. You will find a link to our color profile for the Surface Pro 4 in the box below.

In factory settings, the color accuracy of the Surface Pro is not on a professional level and we could even notice a slight blue cast in the grayscale analysis, which can be removed by the calibration. Calibration hardly improved the color accuracy, only the DeltaE of the grayscale could be reduced by one point. The measurements of the panel with 2734x1824 pixels differ slightly, which is not surprising since both devices use the same panel from Samsung (SDC3853). The display is identical to that of the Surface Pro 4 m3 model, so we will just have a brief look at the results. More information about all the other aspects – build quality, input devices (new Type Cover), ports, cameras and speakers – is available in the review of the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 ( Core m3 ). Both review samples are equipped with the same 128 GB SSD (Samsung MZFL128 NVMe), but we still add the performance figures of the 256 GB drive (Toshiba). Maybe the 4.5-watt SoC (TDP) manages much longer battery runtimes compared to "power-hungry" Core i5? If this is the case, how much performance do you have to sacrifice if you want longer runtimes? The Core i5 also affects the power consumption and the temperature development, so we will also cover these sections in this performance update. Obviously, the small price difference raises the question why should anyone choose the m3 configuration? The fanless m3 version entry-level model of the Surface Pro costs almost 1000 Euros (~$1065/128 GB, without Type Cover), while the i5-6300U version starts at 1030 Euros (~$1097/128 GB) without accessories. While the main review of the brand-new Surface Pro 4 has a closer look at the Core m3 version of the 12-inch device, we can now check the Core i5 model. For the original German review, see here.
