The Surface Pro X received a minor spec bump when it received the SQ2 (based on the Qualcomm 8cx Gen 2) as an option further up the range in 2020, but was only a slightly higher clocked SoC with the same underlying architecture as the SQ1. The chip is based on the Snapdragon 855 which features four high-performance Arm Cortex-A76 cores (and four Cortex-A55 efficiency cores) As a comparison, Qualcomm’s current flagship mobile SoC, the Snapdragon 888, features a special high-performance Cortex-X1 core coupled with three additional Cortex-A78 high performance cores (along with the same four Cortex-A55 efficiency cores). The Surface Pro X launched in 2019 with a Microsoft SQ1 SoC, made in collaboration with Qualcomm. While catching the Apple’s M1 might be out of the question, there’s no question the device is overdue for a significant silicon upgrade. ![]() However, a notable omission from the party was the Arm-based Surface Pro X which now has a new Wi-Fi only entry-level model. Microsoft has made a splash with its Surface Event revealing some meaningful upgrades to several devices including the new Surface Duo 2, Surface Laptop Studio, and Surface Pro 8. ![]()
