AMD could be coming to Surface, but what does that get us in return?
For a few months now, rumors have been building that Microsoft could start to use AMD chips in some of its newer Surface devices. These follow reports that we may also see a Snapdragon-powered Surface PC as well. The claims make sense as Microsoft likely wants to spread some of the Surface-love around to its major chip partners instead of exclusively using Intel.
The funny thing is while AMD is experiencing a deserved resurgence on desktop and gaming PCs, I'm not quite sure why this would be important for laptops. AMD's mobile presence is only simmering, but not on fire.
