Microsoft Surface Pro 5 release update: Tablet hybrid to pack Intel Kaby Kale processor?

Washington: Microsoft Surface Pro 5 is going to release soon and rumors are strong that the new device will become the first device to come loaded with the Intel's next generation processor chip dubbed as Kaby Kale.

The upcoming Surface Pro 5 laptop-tablet hybrid will reportedly be powered by the current Skylake processor. Some other reports stated that it will be supported by the next generation Kaby Kale chipset, which is the 14nm successor of Skylake. This processor comes with a USB 3.1 support and new graphics architecture that will further improve the performance of the system.

Besides the more powerful processor, Microsoft Surface Pro 5 will also include the same screen size, but the resolution will be upgraded to 4K pixels, which makes videos and images clearer and sharper. It is expected that the new device will come with magnetic charging dock that possibly charges the phone and stylus. Rumors are swirling that the stylus pen would be rechargeable.

With all these upgrades, the Surface Pro 5 will boasts of a more powerful battery. It may be recalled that the current Surface Pro 4 received flak from consumers because of its weak battery life. Surface Pro 4 only boasts five hours with video playback. The new Surface Pro 5 could extend up to seven hours.

Latest rumors claimed that Microsoft Surface Pro 5 release will happen next month before MacBook Pro Air and Pro 2016 launch. If rumors proved to be true, the device may be released later this year to early next year since Kaby Kale processor will be ready by late 2016.
