Surface Pro 12: New Microsoft Surface 2-in-1 revealed with up to 32 GB RAM and Intel Panther Lake
Microsoft has not even begun teasing the prospect of launching new Surface PCs yet. Nonetheless, over a month has now passed since Zac Bowden suggested that refreshed models were on the horizon. Now, what is rumoured to be one of Microsoft's next Surface Pro releases has emerged on Geekbench across nearly two dozen listings.
For context, an equivalent leak directly named the Surface Laptop 8 'for Business'. According to Roland Quandt, 900_MAA 900_MAA Product and 3467_PUE 3467_PUE Product are both versions of the Surface Pro 12 that will replace its 'for Business' predecessor (curr. $1,799 on Amazon). Not only that, but these Geekbench listings suggest that the company will sell the Surface Pro 12 with multiple Core Ultra 5 variants.
Specifically, Geekbench mentions the Core Ultra 5 325 and Core Ultra 5 335. 8-core Panther Lake processors, Intel only distinguishes the pair with a 100 MHz higher boost clock speed in the Core Ultra 5 335's favour. Moreover, the same listings mention 24 GB and 32 GB of RAM models. Presumably, the Surface Pro 12 will start out with 16 GB of RAM, though.
Based on recent leaks, Microsoft's next business-focused 2-in-1 could be available with 5G connectivity at launch, too. The same retailer also indicated that the Surface Pro 12 will be configurable with up to a Core Ultra 7 processor. Whether that is the Core Ultra X7 368H, like the Surface Laptop 8 for Business, or a non-X-variant like the Core Ultra 7 365 or Core Ultra 7 366H remains to be seen at this stage.
