Recently, Honor and AMD have been on
everyone’s lips. We know the Huawei sub-brand is going to release a gaming
notebook and most likely, it will be powered by the AMD chip. Even if it will
not be positioning in the gaming niche, there will be a Ryzen-powered laptop
for sure. Moreover, the upcoming Honor MagicBook AMD notebook will be announced
in a few days, on July 16. Till the date, we knew only one thing about this
product. The Honor laptop should sport the new Ryzen 4000 series with 7nm
process and Zen2 architecture. But today, a well-known Twitter user @_rogame
announced the configuration of the new MagicBook Pro Ryzen laptop.
In fact, the Honor MagicBook AMD version
has appeared in the 3DMark database (mainboard number KLVL-WXX9-PCB). So, we
can learn about many features of the upcoming laptop. There are two main
versions:
- One uses an octa-core 16 thread Ryzen 7 4800H processor, a 16GB DDR4-2666MHz memory, and a Samsung PM981a 1TB NVMe SSD solid state disk;
- The second features a hexa-core 12 thread Ryzen 5 4600H processor, an 8GB DDR4-2666MHz memory, and a Samsung PM981 512GB NVMe SSD solid state drive.
Among them, the maximum probability of
memory is directly soldered to the motherboard, which is not replaceable or
upgradeable. But we believe that even the 8GB version will be dual-channel.
However, unfortunately, the frequency is only 2666MHz.
In addition to the difference between the
small version of PM981a and PM981, the hard disk may also come from other
suppliers. Say, previously, there was a leak referring to the Western Digital
SN720 512GB NVMe SSD. Of course, this is also the industry practice.
It should be noted that the Honor
MagicBook Pro continues to not use discrete graphics cards. So, the game
experience may be weaker. But on the one hand, even if this notebook comes with
a standalone graphics card, it will be at the MX350 level. Anyways, the
integrated Vega 7/6 is also competent for general games. On the other hand,
this can leave more power consumption and heating space to the processor. So,
the Ryzen chip can obtain more durable high performance when playing games.
In addition to Honor MagicBook Pro based
on the Ryzen 4000H series, it is speculated that Honor will also release the
MagicBook based on the Ryzen 4000U series. At last, the Honor MagicBook AMD
edition will be released on July 16, featuring ‘A + Productivity’.
