Though the design language will be more or less will same as the 2016 model, Microsoft will move from Skylake to Kaby Lake CPU series in the Surface Pro 5 series.
For those unaware, the new CPU boasts of faster clock speed changes (with improved Speed Shift technology), meaning it takes less time for the CPU to transition from one frequency to another and consequently this will bring an increase in performance and responsiveness, as well.
Surface Pro 5 will not change the Surface Connect power connector, I was just told. Kaby Lake, nothing dramatic.
