Microsoft has never been too willing to install the latest processors in their devices, and the AMD-powered Surface 4 Laptop seems to be another example.
A criterion for the device tweeted by APISAK shows the device is powered by AMD Ryzen 7 processor which is now a bit out of date.
Some have been hoping for the much newer AMD Ryzen 5000 processor, which was released just a few months ago.
The benchmark shows that the Surface Laptop 4 is powered by an Ryzen 7 8C / 16T processor with a 2 GHz core clock and a 3.7 GHz boost paired with a Radeon RX Vega 8 GPU and 16 GB LPDD4-4266 Dual RAM.
The news is somewhat hopeless, but this may be a lower version of the device, and there will be versions with a newer processor, or the criterion does not recognize the processor correctly.
Of course, Microsoft is also releasing an Intel Tiger Lake-powered Surface 4 Laptop for those who want to have the latest device.
