Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 versus Surface Laptop 4 Consumer Comparison Header Cell - Column 0 And like Intel configurations from the prior generation, the Surface Laptop 5 will rely solely on integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics – no discrete configuration will be available. Commercial configurations of the Surface Laptop 5 13.5-inch ship with Intel’s Core i5-1245U or Core i7-1265U mobile processor, while the larger Surface Laptop 5 15-inch commercial variant utilize Intel’s Core i7-1265U silicon. The 13.5-inch models come with either an Intel Core i5-1235U or Core i7-1255U processor, while the larger 15-inch model come with Intel’s 12th Gen Core i7-1255U.

All builds of the Surface Laptop 5, across the 13.5- and 15-inch display sizes, are built on Intel’s Evo platform, which promises sustained performance, long battery life, and a thin-and-light form factor for mobile use. At least at launch, Intel will be the sole CPU provider for the Surface Laptop 5, which means that unlike the fourth generation models, we won’t see any AMD Ryzen configurations. Another big change for the series is that Microsoft appears to be streamlining its configurations.
