It is also possible that the Surface Pro 10 will use the X Plus, and the Surface Laptop 6 will get the X Elite.
As reported by Windows Central Earlier, Microsoft is working on two products with Snapdragon X: Surface Pro 10 with OLED display and Surface Laptop 6. Thanks to the new Geekbench results, some of the Snapdragon X Plus characteristics have become known.
The Snapdragon X Plus has 10 cores (6 performance and 4 energy-efficient) compared to the X Elite’s 12 cores, meaning it’s a less powerful processor for mid-range devices. It was spotted in a 16GB RAM device identified as OEMMN OEMMN running Windows 11 24H2.
The list of future Surface product codenames is known. OEMSA — Surface Laptop SE, OEMML — Surface Laptop, OEMBR — Surface Laptop with Snapdragon X, and OEMMN — Surface Pro 10. A Geekbench leak suggests that the Surface Pro 10 (OEMMN) may come in two variants: Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus. It also seems that the base variant of the laptop will have at least 16 GB of RAM, which may indicate that Microsoft is abandoning the basic 8 GB in the Surface lineup.
Earlier, Qualcomm announced an event dedicated to Snapdragon X the day after tomorrow, April 24. Perhaps more information about the new processors will be available then.
