While all of the laptops feature a Ryzen 4000 series chip, only the MagicBook Pros arrive with an H series processor. For those unaware, the U series is generally for thin and light laptops with en emphasis on low power draw while the H series focuses on offering better performance. Taking a look into the MagicBook Pro series first:

This is quite interesting since Huawei has primarily focused on the laptop and ultrabook market in recent times. So, the fact that the company is now eyeing the desktop market as well, might lead to a few noteworthy launches and product offerings. During this time of crisis, work from home has become a norm with PC and laptop markets both seeing a market growth.

The listing was first shared on Twitter and was discovered by a leakster (@_rogame). Looking at the image shared the Huawei desktop sports an AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4400G processor with integrated Radeon Graphics. This chip is from the Renoir lineup of APUs that feature Zen 2 architecture. It features 6 physical cores and 12 threads with its clock speed reaching up to 4.3GHz and a base clock of 3.7GHz, all of which is impressive for an APU.

The integrated Radeon Graphics has a VRAM memory of 512MB, with 1,600MHz base clock and 1,900MHz boost clock. Unfortunately, finer details regarding the PC is currently unknown. We don’t know that name of the desktop in question or its purpose, although, these specs might be for a PC with a small form factor which will have enough horsepower for dedicated professionals, while there may even be higher end or even lowered end APUs offered in this range. So stay tuned for more updates.
