Microsoft Surface Pro 8 may sport a minimum 8GB of RAM

The Microsoft Surface Pro 8 could pack a minimum of 8GB of RAM if this new leak is to be considered – and max out at 32GB.

The Surface Pro 8 lineup continue to starts with an Intel Core i3 chipset, but for the to start with time, will pack 8GB of RAM for its minimum spec, in accordance to a leak by German tech outlet WinFuture. The rumored data incorporates a comprehensive lineup of configurations: that the i3 model packs 128GB of storage, while the i5 chipset designs (each LTE and WiFi-only) pack both 8GB or 16GB of RAM and both 128GB or 256GB of storage.

Last but not least, the Intel Core i7 designs will appear in both 16GB and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage – or, for the max spec, 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. The latter tracks with a rumor we read before, which also provided leaked pics that show minor change from the Surface Pro 7.

What’s left to understand in advance of the Surface 8 Pro launches?

We have read a ton about the Surface 8 Pro, but there is continue to extra to know in advance of the 2-in-1’s intended launch in January 2021. 

The before spec leak was sourced to an alleged Surface 8 Pro up for on the net auction, which resurfaced later with statements that the machine will pack an eleventh-gen Tiger Lake mobile CPU, RAM running at 4200MHz, and decent benchmarks – a Novabench test noticed the device history a score of 2,one hundred eighty, with a CPU score of one,273 and a GPU score of 411. Of course, the device didn’t appear with asset tags or other pinpointing marks, so we just can’t be certain of its authenticity, so we’re continue to waiting around for extra data to guidance these assertions of the Surface Pro 8’s eventual specs.

A greater concern might be about the Surface Pro 8’s long run: before this month, a report emerged that Microsoft is investing in constructing its own silicon, but responses from Microsoft’s Frank Shaw and Intel by itself suggest that these chipsets will make their way into data centers fairly than Surface laptops. That said, Microsoft’s use of a custom Qualcomm ARM chip in the Surface Pro X suggests we could see the other designs transfer absent from Intel chips in the long run – and if we listen to extra rumors supporting that continue to-theoretical chance, you’ll examine about it on TechRadar.
