I'd say i3 4100u, the ULV (ultra low voltage) one

4100u is ultravoltage by definition. Any intel CPU with a U at the end is an ultra low voltage processor. Also it's definitely not going to be the 4100u in the SP3. All the recently released laptops and tablets use the brand new Haswell processors released this quarter. 

 

This means that the surface pro 3 is bound to have one of the below 3 processors. 

Intel® Core™ i3-4120U Processor 

Intel® Core™ i3-4030U Processor 

Intel® Core™ i3-4025U Processor

I didn't mean there's variations of the 4100u (one being low voltage and one being well.. normal) I just meant to explain what the u was, almost like explaining the K suffix on CPUs :)
