Surface Laptop Studio 2 appeared on Geekbench: Equipped with i7-13800H and RTX 4060
The Surface Laptop Studio is a new member of Microsoft’s Surface family. It is a high-performance creative laptop equipped with a standard voltage processor and a dedicated graphics card and has a unique convertible design. The first generation of Surface Laptop Studio was released in the fall of 2021, and now it’s time for a new generation. According to Windows Central and Notebookcheck, two specific configurations of the Surface Laptop Studio 2 have been discovered by Twitter user @gus33000 on the Geekbench database, which is a popular source for leaked information.
The device is named “OEMEL” in the database, which doesn’t seem to be related to Surface or Microsoft, but user Gustave Monce suggests that it represents “Unnamed_Surface_Laptop_Studio,” and Windows Central reports that the device is code-named “Ersa.” The leaked data shows that the Surface Laptop Studio 2 will come in two versions.
The first version will be equipped with an i7-13800H CPU, a 45W processor with 6 P-Core + 8 E-Core cores, and a boost clock of up to 5.20 GHz. The GPU will be an RTX 4060 Laptop GPU, and it will have 64GB of DDR5 memory. Based on these specifications, the Surface Laptop Studio 2 will have the level of a mid-range gaming laptop, but it may not be priced like one.
The second version will be slightly lower in performance with an i7-13700H CPU with the same 6 P-Core + 8 E-Core cores, but with a lower boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The problem is that the leaked Geekbench data shows that it will have an Intel Iris Xe Graphics card, which is far inferior to the RTX. Additionally, the memory has been reduced from 64GB to 16GB.
Considering that the first generation also offered two configurations with a dedicated graphics card and an integrated graphics card, it is possible that the Surface Laptop Studio 2 will continue with this setup. However, these devices may be engineering validation models based on the use of code names instead of actual names, so the actual configuration may change when the product is officially released.
