1.5GHz Intel Core i3 (Intel HD Graphics 4200), 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB storage
1.6GHz Intel Core i5 (Intel HD Graphics 4400, Turbo Boost up to 2.9GHz), 4GB of RAM, 128GB storage storage

Upon searching Surface Pro 3 specs, the current cpu choices:

Dual core Intel Haswell extreme- or ultra-low power processor:
i3-4020Y (3 MB cache, 1.5 GHz, 6 W)
i5-4300U (3 MB cache, up to 2.9 GHz, 15 W)
i7-4650U (4 MB cache, up to 3.3 GHz, 15 W)

I don't know if the i3 can run dolphin at decent speed...
