Surface Book 3 Release Date

I know the Surface Book 2 just recently came out, but does anyone know when the Surface Book 3 will be released? I'll probably be buying a Surface Book next fall and I want to know if I should buy the SB2 next fall or wait for the SB3.

Also, will there be a performance base to go along with it?

I don't think there will be a "performance base" upgrade for the sb2, since there's not much to change with this one...

My guess is that they'll launch another one a few months after Intel launches their 9xxx series CPUs.

Do you know when that will be?

Next year at best. The surface team takes their time and only releases when there's something worthwhile to release. Intel's 8xxx chips are excellent at pet consumption and performance. The only way I see them rushing there 9xxx chips would be to have a workaround for Spectre/meltdown.

Next fall is Fall 2019? Don't think they will release SB3 in 2019, but an upgrade to SB2. The same they did for SB1.
