In the run up to the June 18 debut of Microsoft's Surface Laptop 7 the company has spent a considerable amount of effort comparing its new Qualcomm Snapdragon Elite X-powered computers to the Apple MacBook Air M3.
That includes pitting the pair against each other in a series of performance benchmarks at Microsoft HQ in Washington last month during Microsoft's Build 2024 developer conference. The Verge has compiled those results and shown that despite some skirting by Microsoft, the Surface Laptop 7 beats the Air M3 in Cinebench and Geekbench 6 multi-threaded CPU performance benchmarks.
The Surface Laptop's Cinebench score came in at 980 compared to 650 for the Air, while the Geek Bench score was 14,000 compared to 12,000 for the MacBook. Not bad, but not significantly better either.
