The SQ1 is based on Qualcomm's existing Snapdragon 8cx laptop chip, with some minor customization. The slim size also allowed Microsoft to create an incredibly slim design. At the same time, it packs a GPU that runs at 1.8 teraflops - not bad for such a portable device. That helps it deliver three times more performance per watt than the Surface Pro 6, while consuming much less power than an Intel or AMD x86 chip. Microsoft described it as having "Snapdragon mobile DNA, alongside an integrated AI accelerator." While ARM chips usually use less power, the SQ1 runs at 7 watts to push performance levels, according to Microsoft's Panos Panay. To make sure it can keep up with Apple's iPad Pro, Microsoft and Qualcomm have developed an all-new ARM processor called the SQ1. Microsoft has promised that will change with the new ARM-powered Surface Pro X, freshly unveiled at its Surface event today. A 5G modem would make the Surface Pro X more future proof, but not having to use a phone as a hotspot is a win.ARM chips in laptops can give you battery life, slimness and connectivity, but power? In Windows laptops, that hasn't been the case. What makes the Microsoft Surface Pro X a noteworthy portable detachable is its built in LTE Advanced for connecting on-the-go. Microsoft also promises all-day battery life, with a rated runtime of 13 hours, but we'll have to see how that shakes out in our testing. The Microsoft Surface Pro X is fast charge capable, which means you can get up to 80 percent capacity in less than an hour. Microsoft Surface Pro X: Battery life and charging So this is not your typical Snapdragon-powered PC. Microsoft also redesigned the GPU with Qualcomm that pushes over 2 teraflops. It boasts "all-day" battery life, faster performance, and efficient computing.
This is the first time Microsoft is experimenting with a Microsoft custom SQ1, 7-watt chipset.Īccording to Microsoft, this SQ1 chip offers three times the performance per watt than the Surface Pro 6. The Surface Pro's travel-friendly design is enabled by a custom, ARM-based CPU.
