Alleged Huawei MateBook X benchmarked with Intel 11th-gen chipset

The new device appeared on UserBenchmark databases and was spotted by the leaker_rogame. According to the listing, the new laptop boasts Intel's 11th-gen Core i7-1160G7 chipset with 16GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 512GB of SSD storage.

New Huawei MateBook X alleged specs

• UserBenchmarks: Game 21%, Desk 83%, Work 19%
• CPU: 11th Gen Intel Core i7-1160G7 – 66.4%
• GPU: Intel Iris Xe Graphics – 16.1%
• SSD: Kxg60znv512g TOSHIBA 512GB – 169.6%
• RAM: Hynix HCNNNCPMBLHR-NEE 8x2GB – 123%
• MBD: XXXX EULD-WXX9

The website reveals the motherboard as XXXX EULD-WXX9-PCB. Worth noting that just like the MateBook X released this year, the new product will also come with a 3K display as a result of 3000 x 2000 pixels combination. Unsurprisingly, it runs Windows 10 straight out of the box. Rumors points out to this being a new member of the MateBook X family. In fact, it could come as a Pro variant to fill the gap left by a premium offering. After all, the other models released this year come with 10th gen Intel chipsets and LPDDR3 RAM standard. So we're looking at a big upgrade if the results are to be believed.

Worth noting that the MateBook X Pro 2020 came 7 months ago. For this particular model, we don't think that it's soon for an upgrade. It certainly will not be a standard model, as vanilla MateBook X was released just last month. In any case, we'll probably hear more about it in the coming days. Huawei will certainly build the hype before revealing a new product. The company is not on its best phase in the mobile smartphone market, so focusing more on laptops seems to be a good strategy to keep its business operating at a satisfactory rhythm.

Whenever the company decides to launch this product, we hope it brings it to global markets. After all, these Windows-powered laptops certainly will have some appeal outside of China.
