Microsoft Surface Pro 5 with AMD Ryzen CPU
March 21, 2017 | News
AMD Ryzen processors are really powerful “machines” with 8 cores and 16 threads, as well as an incredibly effective design power of 65 W. As soon as AMD released its new line Ryzen, manufacturers one by one began to be interested in this development for introducing it into their computers and laptops. Even Apple paid attention to Ryzen to integrate the product into MacBook Pro 13 and 15. Microsoft also did not stand aside: the corporation is serious about using AMD processors in its computer products, such as Microsoft Surface Pro 5.
Microsoft Surface Pro 5 and AMD Ryzen
The previous version of Microsoft Surface Pro 4 was one of the company’s most anticipated machines. The device really showed itself from the best side. However, time passes, and the time of new generations comes. A day is inevitable, when Microsoft Surface Pro 5 will start its path in the market. What is very remarkable in this device is the presence of the Ryzen processor from AMD company.
Strangely enough, but proof of this is the trailer for the movie “Alien: Testament“, published on March 10 on YouTube channel 20th Century Fox. In the segment of the video, a new tablet of Microsoft with the AMD processor is clearly visible. If you want to consider all the details, you will have to wait: the film will appear in theaters only on May 19, 2017. But, most likely, we will hear news from Microsoft much earlier.
By the way, guess who is sponsoring the film? No, not Microsoft, but AMD! The trailer clearly states: “Intellect is provided by AMD, Ryzen and Radeon”. Well, this hint is very original, albeit somewhat straightforward. Now there is no point in doubting that in the new Surface Pro 5 tablet, AMD technologies will be used, including the Radeon graphics.
It is expected that the tablet computer will be presented already this spring. On the same day, it is also likely to show Surface Book 2 and the updated Windows 10 Creators Update. According to the latest rumors, Surface Pro 5 will be equipped with a 4K-screen, a USB Type-C connector, a magnetic stylus and wireless charging support.
