#INTEL GRAPHICS DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS 10 SURFACE PRO 4 PRO#

But the significantly lower power consumption-and the significant boost in battery life-may be worth the tradeoff.ĭepending on how Microsoft configured the chip to run in the Surface Pro 4, it could offer truly stupendous battery life that the two hotter and faster CPUs can’t touch. It won’t be as fast as the two faster SP4’s in any CPU task, such as Photoshop or video encoding, and it’ll also be third-place in graphics, too. The really interesting changeup is that Core m3-6Y30 part within the entry-level Surface Pro 4. But it will take a definite back seat in graphics performance, which means “lighter duty gaming” or graphics tasks. The mid-range Core i5-based Surface Pro 4 will be slower, but in the same performance ballpark as the Core i7 unit in, say, Photoshop. Basically, “light-duty” gaming is definitely a feature of the Core i7 Surface Pro 4. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect the Surface Pro 4 to be close to that or possibly exceed it (there are differences in cooling and memory bandwidth that could impact performance).

If you read page 4 of my Skylake Core i7-6700K review, you’ll see that the desktop chip with its Intel HD 530 graphics-a step down from the Surface Pro 4 with the Core i7-pushes 54 fps in Tomb Raider when set to normal and at 1366×768 resolution. The highest end Surface Pro 4 uses Intel’s Iris Graphics with 48 execution units and should offer rather decent performance. Your CPU choice on a new Surface Pro 4 will matter more than on the Surface Book. Unlike the Surface Book, here you should choose wisely. While the CPUs in the Surface Book don’t differ dramatically, the SP4’s brains matter far more. What about the CPUs in the Surface Pro 4? Most of you won’t notice the difference unless there’s some other key difference between the configurations that I’m missing. Therefore, you’d probably be fine buying the Core i5 version of the Surface Book with discrete graphics and 256GB SSD for $1,900 instead of shelling out $2,100 for the Core i7 Surface Book with discrete graphics and a 256GB SSD. (Yes, and like a meteorologist, you can’t hold me to it unless I’m right.) With the Surface Book, both CPU models will support vPro which enables manageability in a corporate IT environment.įrom a pure performance perspective, based on how previous Intel model numbers have gone and my testing of the desktop Skylake chip, I predict that you might see a 15-percent difference between the two based on CPU-intensive chores. For example, some Core i7 chips may contain its vPro technology, while some Core i5 CPUs may not. It could take a while until the new drivers show up in Windows Update, so manually downloading them seems to be the only way to get them without waiting.Sometimes Intel turns features on or off based on where it wants the chip to fall in its performance hierarchy.

In addition to Windows 10, some improvements are also available on Windows 7 and 8.1, so you can download Intel Graphics driver version 15.40.

The company specifically mentions that the new driver software “reduces the probability of getting a blue screen in certain scenarios.” do include stability fixes for the aforementioned processors.Īt the same time, it informs us that the new release comes with fixes for systems with both discrete graphics and Intel graphics that previously experienced freezes all of a sudden, but also for devices that got similar errors with HD Graphics 510. We're hearing from our readers that, after installing these updates, BSODs and freezes no longer occur as often as before, and Intel indeed says that the new driver version 15.40. 4th and 5th Generation Intel Core and related processors are not supported with this driver but will be supported in future drivers,” it notes. “This driver is for 6th Generation Intel Core processors, Intel Core M, and related Pentium processors with Intel HD Graphics 510, 515, 520, 530, Intel Iris Graphics 540 and Intel Iris Graphics 550.

Microsoft has recently said that it is working with partners and companies across the world to update their drivers in order to fix BSODs and other issues that might be experienced on Windows 10, so after getting updated software for Nvidia cards, adopters of the new operating system are provided with improved drivers for Intel graphics too.įirst of all, it's worth knowing that these new drivers are only aimed at devices equipped with sixth-generation Intel processors, and the company announces that older generations should get updates in the coming future too. Intel has recently rolled out updated graphics drivers for devices powered by its 6th-generation processors and running Windows 10, including Microsoft's very own Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book.
