The next Surface Pro to hit the market could do so in two versions: under Intel processors but also with ARM

We love talking about potential new releases when it comes to dreaming up new gear. It happens with all platforms and all brands and Microsoft was not going to escape this maelstrom that drives us to look for new products even though we have recent ones on the market .

In addition, in the case of the American company this eagerness to know their new proposals is maximum, given the continuous rumors that speak of new launches in which they are working.A new range of mobiles, tablets, convertibles, devices with flexible screens... the possibilities of coming across something new just around the corner are many

And everything indicates that in Redmond they are preparing something new, new launches that we would see around the turn of the summer or throughout 2020. And among them there is talk of a new Surface laptop, a renewed Surface Book or a new Surface Pro. And regarding the latter, we are working with the possibility of seeing it in October although it would arrive throughout 2020.

The data that has come to light so far speaks of a new device under the code name Centaurus that would bet on the use of a double screen that has been talked about so much, possibly flexible.

To all this data is added the fact that according to a Petri report, there will be new products in which the changes will come mainly inside.The USB Type C standard will finally be adopted, something that Microsoft has had a hard time accepting and there will be renovations when it comes to internal hardware

ARM or Intel

In this sense, the possibility that new equipment, including a possible Surface Pro, will have ARM processors, gains strength. In fact, the indications point towards this option and are testing a device codenamed Excalibur, something they confirm in Petri, where they explain that Excalibur is the 8cx SoC that Microsoft has been working closely with Qualcomm on.

Just because it arrives with an ARM processor under the hood Doesn't mean you don't bet on Intel The relationship could be going through some ups and downs which according to some is due to the lack of innovation on the part of the processor brand and above all due to supply problems.That wouldn't stop Microsoft from launching that potential Surface Pro with an Intel SoC.

A model that could bet on an Intel i5 heart which they say would be the rival of the SoC 8cx signed by ARM. Something logical is this duality of models if we think about the effort they are making to achieve a happy marriage between processors with ARM architecture and Windows.

As for software, it is also rumored with the possibility of seeing how in October the American company announces Windows Lite, the ideal companion for hardwarethat would serve to demonstrate the joint potential of both proposals.
