When Microsoft unveiled the Surface Pro X, it arrived with a custom SQ1 chip that was based on the Snapdragon 8cx running at a base clock speed of 3.00GHz. Thanks to a new benchmark leak, an unreleased version of the Surface Pro possibly getting tested with a faster Snapdragon 8cx has been spotted, leading to speculation that Microsoft may plan on refreshing its ARM-based tablet.
The unreleased Surface Pro was spotted at Geekbench 5 sporting a typical codename ‘OEMSR OEMSR Product Name DV’. However, one thing different about this benchmark leak was the listed clock speed, which is 3.15GHz instead of 3.00GHz belonging to the SQ1 chip. This can give weight to a rumor that perhaps Microsoft is testing a new Surface Pro X variant with a Snapdragon 8cx ‘Plus’. That is correct; not long ago, there was a report suggesting a faster Snapdragon 8cx chipset with a base frequency of 3.15GHz might launch soon.
