The technical specifications of the successor to Microsoft's Surface Go 2 have been unveiled in a Geekbench entry. The new tablet is expected to be announced this fall alongside the Surface Duo 2 and Surface Book Studio and will allegedly be powered by Intel's Amber Lake processors.

What a waste. Put an AMD van Gogh APU in there.
If they want to save cost why don't go with AMD. It will be cooler and use less battery underload too.
10th generation 14nm+++++++ and DDR3(L?) in 2021, that's how you deal with chip shortages! ;D

AMD isn't less expensive than Intel any more, if anything it's the opposite sometimes, just compare a 6C/12T 5600X (MSRP $299) against a 6C/12T 11600KF (MSRP $247). And they still haven't released any of the modern and power efficient Zen 2/3 APUs right now, with single digit TPD (5-6W) right now, Van Gogh is supposed to come out at some point later this year.

The Steam Deck isn't really indicative of anything, Valve's president has said that the Steam Deck is "very aggressive" and "painful" (for them), i.e. they're selling it at a loss.
