Huawei could be building an AMD-powered desktop PC to take on Lenovo, Dell and HP
Huawei is apparently testing a PC built around an AMD Ryzen 4000 APU, as the device has been spotted in a leaked benchmark.
Well-known hardware leaker Rogame highlighted the 3DMark result which – assuming it isn’t somehow faked – shows a Huawei PC running Windows 10 and built around a Ryzen 5 Pro 4400G chip.

As Rogame observes, there’s no discrete graphics card present, so this PC is entirely built around the APU, and might just be a small form-factor (seriously compact) device.
As this is a Ryzen Pro APU, the machine would be aimed at the business market, but if Huawei is indeed making a push to secure desktop PC territory, we could reasonably expect a wide array of machines coming from the manufacturer.
All this remains salt-laden speculation, naturally, but this is definitely one potential avenue of expansion for Huawei that we’ll be keeping a close eye on.
Renoir power
As you’re doubtless aware, Huawei already makes a range of laptops, including a number of MateBook models like the Huawei MateBook X Pro (which seriously impressed us with its battery life).
Indeed, the Huawei MateBook 13 makes the cut for our best laptops of 2020 roundup, being a superb value proposition for those who are interested in the best laptop deals on the boil right now.
