@ shubhank)

but the CPU in the Surface pro can at most be the i5-3360M, which only has about half the 3D Mark 2011 performance as the i5-3570K (official word was only "3rd gen i5 mobile CPU" afaik)

edit:

I realized the comparison above only was using the CPU score, so I searched for valid results of total 3D Mark 11 scores and the i5-3570K received a score of ~p1000 on average, while the i5-3360M did about ~p680 on average, so in gaming performance that high end mobile i5 is about 30% slower (although that may vary in different games)


I don't think games on the surface would be CPU bound but rather GPU bound.

Also there may be good chance that Surface will get a Haswell based cpu, which has double the integrated GPU performance supposedly of HD4000.
