Well that nips it in the bud for me.
I was actually holding out to buy a Surface if they were going to have the new Snapdragon X Elite in them.

Intel processors are actually a deterrent from buying one.
Stupid move Microsoft, Intel is the worst power to performance ratio on the market right now. Why use it in your most portable and premium devices!?

That's because these are designed for businesses.
They want something that can be bought in massive bulk, and is easy to integrate/customize with the software they are using.

Snapdragon X Elite would be too experimental. They aren't even out yet, with a release date of June/July, and we don't even know if that's a soft or hard launch.
AMD Ryzen mobile, especially the newest series, has never seen large scale availability for some reason.

That said, I too hope to see an Elite X surface pro. It would be weird if they didn't release one, since they seem to be fully onboard with the idea this time around.

Whatever MS does it needs to solve the short battery life on the Surface Pro Intel i7 units. I get about 4-6 hours on my SP 9 Pro, despite MS advertising orders of magnitude longer, and I only run office products for simple tasks (Outlook, Word, Excel and OneDrive)... Disappointing battery performance, but otherwise a decent machine... I hope SP 11 Pro will finally solve this issue that so many people have with the SP lineup... I was hoping SP 10 was going to solve this issue as I would likely have upgraded, though begrudgingly...
