<\/a>The Geekom GeekBook X16 Pro will soon be updated with Zen 5-based AMD Gorgon Point APUs.<\/p>\n

Geekom has revealed an updated variant of its GeekBook X16 Pro laptop, now powered by AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 Gorgon Point APU. The laptop also features a 120 Hz display, and 32 GB of LPDDR5 RAM.<\/p>\n

Geekom is a brand that is mostly known for their mini PC<\/a> and SFF offerings. However, they do also make laptops, sold under the GeekBook branding. <\/p>\n

The GeekBook X16 Pro is one such 16-inch laptop offered by the famous Chinese OEM, currently powered by a pretty decent Intel Core Ultra 9 185H<\/a> CPU. Courtesy of our friends over at TechPowerUp<\/a>, it appears that the company is preparing an update for the X16 Pro laptop. <\/p>\n

GeekBook X16 Pro laptop to get a taste of AMD Zen 5<\/p>\n

To be more specific, the updated GeekBook X16 Pro will soon be powered by AMD’s Gorgon Point APUs, up to the impressive AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470<\/a> chip. Featuring a total of 12 Zen 5 cores and 24 threads, the HX 470 APU features barely any performance improvements over its predecessor, the well-reputed Ryzen AI 9 HX 370<\/a>. <\/p>\n

That said, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 should be able to master a sizeable 32% improvement over the Core Ultra 9 185H<\/a> currently found in the GeekBook X16 Pro laptop, as we mentioned earlier. Folks who care a lot about CPU performance will almost certainly feel the uplift in their day-to-day workloads.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The Geekom GeekBook X16 Pro features a premium magnesium alloy build.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the Gorgon Point APU’s powerful\u00a0Radeon 890M<\/a>\u00a0iGPU should easily be able to keep up with the 185H’s\u00a08-core Arc iGPU<\/a>\u00a0in most workloads, while having a slight advantage in others. <\/p>\n

The Geekom GeekBook X16 Pro laptop will also come equipped with 32 GB of LPDDR5-8533 RAM, and a 2 TB SSD. It is unclear if any lower-tier variants will be available, but it does seem quite likely. A 2560 x 1600 IPS display will be present, with a claimed 100% coverage of the sRGB color gamut and 120 Hz refresh rate.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

The I\/O on offer has been detailed below: <\/p>\n

Dual USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-AUSB4, USB 3.2 Type-CHDMI 2.13.5 mm audio jack
\n\tThe laptop will feature a 16-inch QHD 120 Hz display.<\/p>\n

Other notable features include a 77 Wh battery, which is the same as the current generation, precision-milled unibody frame (magnesium alloy construction), WiFi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.4. More details regarding weight, dimensions, and cooling should be available soon. <\/p>\n

Exact pricing and availability details are unclear. Given that the current-gen Geekom GeekBook X16 Pro laptop (with a similar config) costs $1,280 as of this writing, the new variant should cost at least as much. <\/p>\n

Folks who would rather get a budget laptop for daily tasks with respectable performance, can checkout the Lenovo ThinkBook 14x,\u00a0currently available for $680<\/a>\u00a0on Lenovo’s official store.<\/p>\n
