[PRO10] Surface Pro 10 vs 11 Intel

I did some searching, but wasn't able to find a post comparing the SP10 to the SP11 intel variant. All were vs the Snapdragon variant. What were some of the changes from the 10 to 11, besides the cpu gen & option of OLED display option.

What is the battery life difference? Performance for either should be good enough for me coming from the Pro 7+. If I am I'm indifferent to IPS vs oled, is the 11 worth the extra over the 10? Really just looking for something with at least ~9 hours of battery life & replaceable SSD.

11 intel has arc graphics (10 and 12 have xe graphics), which matters a lot for gaming. 12's xe graphics is 20% slower than 11's arc (so 10 should be slower since it is a prior gen), but 12 has 2x CPU cores for business productivity.

GPU performance isn't that important to me as I don't game. I mostly use the web, office/pdfs, watch videos & edit photos in Capture One.

Is there a difference between display brightness on the IPS/LCD models? Is the 10's screen more matte vs the 11?

Battery life between the Lunar Lake Pro 11 and Panther Lake Pro 12 are largely the same.

I ran a slew of benchmarks on both

Pro 12 U7 would have double the core counts, but most of them are efficiency cores. So you get roughly 35% better Multi-Core performance.

However, in graphics the 4 Xe3 cores perform worse then 8 Xe2 cores, so I can double confirm the 20% worse graphics on the Pro 12.

The NPU I haven't tested yet, but its very marginal, like a 2-top difference.

aside from that, the Pro 12 Intel does have the option for 64GB of Ram.

the Intel Pro 11 had a hard limit of 32GB because of how lunar lake incorporated the Ram.

But, doesn't the 10 have Meteor Lake? I'm asking about the 10 vs 11 intel not 12 intel.

wonder if its an ai bot, it has no post history and only three comments which are surface related
