There's also a push for making these devices available to the wider consumer market.
Microsoft is launching new Surface devices with four types of Core Ultra CPUs, integrated Intel Arc graphics, and an optional $200 USB4 Dock.
Companies with a history of using x86 software face compatibility issues with ARM, necessitating the continued production of Intel-based Surface devices.
Microsoft's x86-to-Arm app translation layer, Prism, runs legacy apps but compatibility challenges persist, affecting organizations with specialized software and hardware investments.
While Microsoft targets businesses with these devices, there is a call for offering x86 Surface PCs to the general public, catering to enthusiasts.
