Microsoft Surface Go 2 Rumors: New Leak Confirms Cheapest Tablet Processor

The Microsoft Surface Go 2 may not be the tablet most are looking for when it comes to powerful features. But then again, it is tailored for people who are looking for something close to the Microsoft Surface line on a budget. Now, more specs have come out in the open with the actual processor of the budget-friendly device spotted.

Windows Latest discovered in a recent Energy Star certification the actual processor for one of the Microsoft Surface Go 2. As previously speculated, the tablet may come with an Intel Core M3 configuration. The Surface Go 2 will come armed with an m3-8100y chip, not that powerful but an upgrade compared to its predecessor.
