Struggling to see who this device would be aimed at, given SP8 now shares the same design.

I've owned both the Surface Pro X & Surface Pro 8. The main benefits of the surface pro x for me is two things: 1) Battery life is excellent. 2) It does not get hot under load (and also does not get noisy because of fanless design).

Furthermore, people that say the Pro X cannot run apps - Windows 11 lets you emulate apps that are not compiled for ARM. I have had great sucess with this, and only place I had sluggish apps was with injelli-j.

Just my two cents.

As mentioned numerous times at this time every year, Geekbench is not an indicator of CPU speed nor an accurate test for comparing ARM to x86.

It's more likely the 8cx is on par with the new 9W/8T low-power processors from Core i3 and Ryzen 3 lineup, a recent example being Steam Deck's "Aerith" APU.

Several benchmark leaks suggest that Microsoft is developing a new ARM-based Surface device. Presumably a next-generation Surface Pro X, the device manages better multi-core performance than Intel's fastest Intel Tiger Lake-U processor thanks to its Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 SoC.
