Yesterday, Microsoft launched a major version of Windows 11. After the update of 2022, it issued an invitation letter to hold an official event on October 12. Judging from the time point, October of each year is generally the node for the update of its Surface hardware devices. The focus of this press conference should be the iteration of multiple Surface product lines to Intel's 12th-generation Core platform, as well as the debut of new products embedded in Snapdragon 8cx Gen3 chip.
For the iteration of the product line, the outside world generally looks forward to the launch of the Surface Pro 9 series. According to reports, this time, in addition to choosing to match Intel's 12th-generation Core platform, Microsoft will also add a Snapdragon 8cx Gen3 version for users to choose from.
Snapdragon 8cx Gen3 flagship processor, this is the 5G chip built by Qualcomm for PC platform. The chip is made of a 5nm process and adopts the Armv8 architecture. The CPU performance is improved by 85%, the GPU performance is improved by 60%, and the single-thread performance is improved by 40%. The chip's artificial intelligence AI computing speed exceeds 29TOPs, and the energy efficiency of part of GPU is improved by 40%.
and the Surface Pro 8 currently equipped with Intel's 11th-generation Core 1135G7+8GB+128GB specifications are currently priced at 7,388 yuan on Microsoft's official website. I believe that the price may be adjusted below the price after the processor is replaced with Snapdragon 8cx Gen3.
In addition to Surface Pro 9, the above product lines may be updated iteratively. I don’t know which one is your dish.
Finally, for friends who love Surface series hardware devices, there is also Surface refurbishment machine for everyone to choose from on Microsoft's official website. Not only is the price relatively affordable, but it also has official maintenance guarantees.
