A new Google-branded Chromebook has appeared on the Google Play Console, which should signify its impending release. Google has not released a Chromebook since the Pixelbook Go, although the company continues to sell the Pixel Slate in some markets. Google opted for Intel at the hear of both of those machines, but it has gone with AMD for this new model.
According to the listing, Google plans to release the device with an AMD Ryzen 3 3250C, a dual-core processor with four threads and a peak clock speed of 3.5 GHz. The Ryzen 3 3250C also features a Radeon RX Vega 3 iGPU. The Google Play Console listing also confirms that the machine has 4 GB of RAM, and a 1,920 x 1,080-pixel display with a pixel density of 160 PPI. Sadly, the screen will have a 16:9 aspect ratio, and a diagonal size of 13.7-inches.
The listing states that Google has codenamed the Zork, which last reared its head in April. The Google Zork has been benchmarked on Geekbench over one hundred times since then, including with processors like the Ryzen 7 3700C, the Athlon Gold 3150C and the Athlon Silver 3050C. There is also a reference to an AMD 3015Ce version of the Google Zork, along with models that have 8 GB and 16 GB of RAM. Google may not release all these models, but we would expect the company to offer the device with 4 GB, 8 GB and 16 GB of RAM as it currently does with the Pixelbook Go.
