Updated Surface Book

Any more details on the upgraded CPU? I thought it was just the same i7-6600U that was in the highest end Surface Book - certainly isn't Kaby Lake. I had thought the "Surface Book i7" name was daft - the "Surface Book with Performance Base" being used on the MS (USA) Store is much more descriptive - the new Surface Book SKU seems to be the same i7 tablet/screen, but with a modified base (extra battery, new dGPU, better cooling).

Any news on when the Surface Book i7/performance base will be available in the UK? I ask the 'experts' on the MS (UK) Store, and they didn't know.

Personally I'm excited - I'm in the market for a new laptop, and was looking at Hybrids, but wanted a bit more oompf than was currently available. This new iteration is just good enough for me to justify getting it, as I want something which can be used for gaming.
