But they aren't. Microsoft didn't put the best snapdragon chips in this years edition of surface devices.

No, Microsoft is right. the x elite and M3 are the same generation and came out in the same year. It would be incorrect if it was the Surface Pro 12 (with X Elite 2) and they claimed it was faster but referenced M3. just because the marketing is new, doesn't mean it automatically competes with current generation. Apple pulls this comparison with EVERY release and marketing campaign (remember when they compared M-series SOCs to two generation old Intel CPUs?). NBC shouldn't pretend like this isn't standard practice to compare your models with other models of the same gen.
