Microsoft’s upcoming Surface laptop 4 hits GeekBench with AMD and Intel chips
The popular GeekBench benchmark spotted Microsoft’s next-generation laptop: the Surface Laptop 4, which is expected to be officially unveiled next month.
The laptop will come in versions with a display measuring 13.5 and 15 inches diagonally. At the same time, each of the versions will be available with AMD and Intel processors: both versions have been tested in GeekBench.
In particular, the Intel version carries a Tiger Lake generation Core i5-1135G7 processor. This chip contains four processing cores (eight instruction streams) with clock speeds up to 4.2 GHz. There is a graphics accelerator, Intel Iris Xe. The amount of RAM is listed in the amount of 8 GB.
The tested AMD variant is powered by the Ryzen 5 3580U Microsoft Surface Edition processor. This chip has four cores (eight threads), the frequency of which can be up to 3.7 GHz. However, GeekBench data states that the number of cores is six. Most likely, the test incorrectly determined the name of the processor because AMD already has mobile Ryzen 5000 series chips, where the Ryzen 5 models have six cores. And Microsoft is unlikely to release a laptop on the outdated Ryzen 3000 series chip.
Externally, the Surface Laptop 4 is supposed to be identical to the Surface Laptop 3 shown in the first image. The next-generation laptop computers, of course, will ship with the Windows 10 operating system.
