Microsoft appears to be preparing a new generation of 2-in-1 devices in its Microsoft Surface Pro family, as early details about the upcoming Surface Pro 12 have surfaced online ahead of any official announcement. The device has been spotted in nearly two dozen Geekbench listings, hinting that a launch may be closer than expected.
According to these benchmark entries, Surface Pro 12 will make the jump to Intel Panther Lake processors, signaling a notable upgrade over previous generations. Specifically, configurations featuring Intel Core Ultra 5 325 and Intel Core Ultra 5 335 have been listed, both 8-core chips. The difference between the two appears minimal, with the 335 variant offering a slightly higher boost clock by 100 MHz.
This suggests Microsoft is targeting a balance between performance and efficiency, especially for business users, as these chips are part of Intel’s newer lineup optimized for AI workloads and lower power consumption.
One of the more surprising details is the memory configuration. Surface Pro 12 appears with 24GB and 32GB RAM options, an uncommon step for this category. The base model will likely still start at 16GB, but the introduction of a 24GB tier hints at a more flexible positioning aimed at power users.
Beyond the Core Ultra 5 models, there are indications that Surface Pro 12 may also be configurable with processors from the Intel Core Ultra 7 range. It remains unclear whether Microsoft will opt for a high-end chip like the Intel Core Ultra 7 368H or more mainstream options such as the Intel Core Ultra 7 365 or Intel Core Ultra 7 366H.
Separately, a retailer listing suggests that 5G connectivity could be available at launch, reinforcing the device’s positioning as a mobile-first solution for enterprise users.
Internal identifiers like 900_MAA and 3467_PUE point to these variants replacing previous “for Business” Surface models. This aligns with Microsoft’s ongoing strategy of treating the Surface Pro line as a premium productivity tool rather than just a consumer hybrid.
