Microsoft (Microsoft) The new Surface Pro X released in 2020, using the SQ2 processor that cooperated with Qualcomm, and the battery life increased to 15 hours. It seems that the specifications have been improved, but through a series of evaluations from abroad, the new SQ2 processor has almost the same running points as the previous generation SQ1.
The foreign media " Wccftech " reported that the SQ2 processor is just a vest product with a replacement name for SQ1. In the Jetstream 2 running project, SQ1’s 89,614 points are almost the same as SQ2’s 90,664 points. The same goes for the Antutu test. SQ1 scored 286,740 points, while SQ2 scored 286,271 points.
In the Geekbench 4 test, SQ1 scored 3,530 points in single-core projects and 11,927 points in multi-core; SQ2 scores 3,627 points in single-core and 12,042 points in multi-core, regardless of whether it is in single-core or multi-core testing. The difference between the two is less than 1%.
The firmware update recently released by Microsoft includes SQ1 and SQ2 processors. Since the update is launched at the same time, it seems to imply that there is no difference between the two processors, which means that Microsoft and Qualcomm have not actively optimized SQ processing. The effectiveness of the device.
Foreign media believe that Microsoft's approach is only a marketing method to encourage consumers to buy new machines. There are also claims that Microsoft is secretly developing its own ARM processor, so it is not surprising that it will abandon the SQ processor.
