Credit: FCC DesignĪ leaked image from an FCC report (spotted by Windows Central) indicates that the Surface Studio 3 will look virtually identical to the Surface Studio 2. It’s hard to recommend the Surface Studio 2 with such old components, so the touted refresh is very much needed.īowden also claims there have been a few changes to the ports, with the SD card reader replaced by 3x Thunderbolt 4 connections, and the total number of USB-A ports scaled down to two. Those are realistic specs, although are a considerable leap from the outdated specs of the Surface Studio 2, which packs a 7th Generation Intel chip and up to a Nvidia GTX 1070 GPU. Microsoft insider Zac Bowden claims that the Surface Studio 3 will feature an Intel Core i7-11370H processor and an Nvidia RTX 3060 GPU, with the possibility of 32GB RAM and 1TB storage too. The Surface Studio 2 currently has a starting price of £3549, so we think Microsoft will go for something around that figure when it finally launches the Surface Studio 3. There’s no official word on price just yet, but Microsoft typically sticks to the same price structure when introducing new generations of products. You may not be able to purchase the new desktop PC until a few weeks or months later, but Microsoft is expected to confirm the exact date of launch during the showcase. The Surface Studio 3 is expected to be announced during the upcoming Microsoft Surface showcase on 12 October 2022, alongside the Surface Laptop 5 and Surface Pro 9.
