Rumor: Lenovo Yoga Pro 3 gets Core m-soc

Lenovo will release a Yoga Pro 3 with Intel’s Core m-5Y70 at the end of September, according to data from Scandinavian distributors. In addition to an orange version, there will be variants in gold with white and the price would be converted to 1300 euros.

In recent months, some indications for the arrival of the Lenovo Yoga Pro 3 have already surfaced and distributors in Finland, Denmark and Sweden have now included information about the device in their inventory systems. The German Mobile Geeks concludes from this that the system contains a Core m-5Y70. This is a Broadwell-based soc, which is produced at 14nm, has a clock speed of 1.1GHz and runs at a maximum of 2.6GHz. The tdp is 4.5W, considerably less than the 17W that the Core U processor of the Yoga Pro 2 uses.

On Fcomputer.dk you can see that there will be at least a version with an SSD of 256GB and that the thickness is 15.5 mm. Gorilla Glass has also been used for the screen and the hinge with which the screen can be flipped 360 degrees makes its appearance again. Some distributors and web shops report a release date of September 30th.

It is striking that Lenovo has not announced the Yoga Pro 3 at the IFA fair in Berlin. Several manufacturers, such as Asus and HP, showed their hybrids with Core-m-cpu there, while Dell used Intel’s IDF for such an announcement. Lenovo has put a teaser for the model online, but it is unknown when the system will appear.
