Microsoft appears to be working on a new Surface product that might be more different from its predecessors.
The benchmark points to the following hardware configurations:
Microsoft plans to announce a new Surface product equipped with AMD CPU rather than the latest chips from Intel. The Redmond firm is prototyping a Surface device, possibly a new variant of Surface Laptop with a 13.5-inch display that includes AMD Renoir APU and discrete GPU manufactured by AMD.
According to a 3DMark database entry, one model comes with AMD Ryzen 5 4500U APU and entry-level RX 5300M dGPU. There appears to be another variant of the same device with Ryzen 7 4800U. This could be the 15-inch variant of the Surface device.
Microsoft could use AMD’s accelerated processing unit (APU) in this unannounced Surface device to improve the performance.
The benchmark points to the following hardware configurations:
- AMD Ryzen 5 4500U APU with RX 5300M dGPU
- AMD Ryzen 7 4700U with RX 5300M dGPU
- AMD Ryzen R5 4600U with RX 5500M dGPU
- AMD Ryzen 7 4800U with RX 5600M
