Microsoft launches the ARM-based Surface Pro X

At its annual Surface hardware event, Microsoft  today announced the long-rumored ARM-based Surface, the first time Microsoft itself has launched a device with an ARM-based processor inside. The 13-inch device will use Microsoft’s own custom SQ1 chip, based on Qualcomm’s  Snapdragon and an AI accelerator, making it the first Surface with an integrated AI engine. Microsoft and Qualcomm also worked on building custom-designed GPU cores for the Pro X, which will run Microsoft’s version of Windows 10 for ARM.

The Pro X will be available on November 5, starting at $999, and is now available for pre-order. MORE>>
