Rumors suggest that Microsoft will launch a next-generation Surface Go tablet later this year, and that device could be powered by Intel's new "Atom-inspired" Alder Lake-N CPU architecture. If true, this will give the next-gen Surface Go a significant performance boost over the outgoing Surface Go 3, which comes with much older 14nm Amber Lake CPUs.
The new rumors suggest that the next Surface Go 3 will be powered by the Intel Processor N200, a quad-core, four-threaded CPU with a 3.7GHz boost clock and 6W TDP. This chip is one of Intel's latest Alder Lake-N SoCs, featuring its highly efficient but surprisingly quick Gracemount CPU cores. These are the same cores found in Intel's Alder Lake and Raptor Lake desktop/mobile CPUs, where they are known as efficiency cores.
