I wonder if the core i5 is actually a Core i5 U-edition or an Y-edition. Didn't Intel say they would start calling Core M3 and Core M5 Core i3 and Core i5? (pre-Kaby Lake).

The 7th gen Core i3/i5/i7 have exactly the same performance of the 6th gen.

Also the MBP Touch Bar has a TDP that is much higher than the Surface Laptop, only the low end MBP has the same TDP of all the SL.

So, no, the Microsoft product is MUCH SLOWER.
