The engine that makes it all go, the processor determines the speed at which your system runs programs, loads pages and downloads files. The more powerful and updated your processor, the faster your PC's overall performance.
The Surface Laptop for Business (7th Edition) and Surface Pro for Business (11th Edition) are available with your choice between two powerful Snapdragon X Series Processors: Snapdragon X Elite or Snapdragon X Plus. Both offer fast performance, all-day battery life and advanced AI features with a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) delivering 45 trillion operations per second (TOPS). The Snapdragon X Elite has a 12-core CPU for lightning-fast speed and extended battery life, ideal for heavy workloads. The Snapdragon X Plus, with its 10-core CPU, provides strong performance and great battery life at a fantastic value.
NPU
The Neural Processing Unit (NPU) makes your laptop not just faster, but smarter, unlocking new levels of AI processing. The power of an NPU can be measured in trillions of operations per second (TOPS). Higher TOPS means the NPU can handle heavier, more robust AI workloads, so that your experiences run smoother and faster. The Snapdragon X Series Processors have 45 TOPS, to handle powerful AI workloads.
