You simply can't use those apps on the Surface Pro X.Īt least, for now. Now, most programs have 32-bit versions, but some popular apps, including Adobe Photoshop and Premiere, are only available in 64-bit. Not only is Microsoft making native ARM apps, but it's also expanding support for 64-bit x86 apps.Īs of today, the Surface Pro X can run 64-bit and 32-bit ARM-based apps natively and 32-bit, x86 apps through an emulator. Bringing 64-bit app emulation to ARM-based PCs Of course, the browser is in a pre-beta stage so don't be surprised if it crashes every now and then.
You can download the ARM app from the Chromium Edge Insider site. The Verge has been testing the Edge Chromium for ARM browser and not only reports better battery life and performance but also "big improvements in switching tabs, rendering web content, and scrolling speeds." Now they can get the benefits of using an app made specifically for ARM. Therefore, laptops using the Snapdragon 8cx can be passively cooled (no fan) and should not throttle under constant load.Before Microsoft made Chromium Edge for ARM available to Surface Pro X users, their only options were to download x86 versions of Edge or Chrome and run them in emulation mode. The chip is very power efficient as its produced at TSMC in the modern 7 process. Microsoft claims 2 TFlops theoretical performance compared to the 1.8 for the Adreno 680 (+11%). The integrated Adreno 685 graphics card is a higher clocked version of the Adreno 680 in the Snapdragon 8cx. 32 bit applications and games for AMD/Intel run in a rather slow emulation and 65 bit apps wont start at all. However, this is only the case for native ARM64 compiled Windows apps which are not that many (in mid 2019). The processor performance should be similar to a Intel Core i5 8th gen U-series (e.g. Furthermore, the SoC integrates ac-Wifi and a dual-channel 32-bit 1866 MHz LPDDR4x memory controller. The integrated X24 LTE modem supports up to 2 Gbps download speeds. The 4 Kryo 495 Silver cores are small ARM Cortex-A55 cores for power efficiency and clocked at 1.9 GHz (unverified) under load. The 4 Kryo 495 Gold cores are based on the ARM Cortex-A76 architecture (for performance) and clocked at up to 3 GHz (2.84 GHz for the 8cx) under load (no single core Turbo). It is based on the Snapdragon 8cx but with higher clocked CPU and GPU cores.
The Microsoft SQ1 is a ARM based SoC for Windows tablets ( Surface Pro X).
