Google’s upcoming Pixelbook successor, tentatively named the Pixelbook 2, may ship with the exact same Intel processors as last year’s Pixel Slate devices, if newly spotted Geekbench listings are anything to go by. The device, listed as ‘Google Atlas’ on the Geekbench database, is being rumored to be eventually marketed as Google’s next-gen Chromebook laptop.
It’s worth noting here that earlier additions to the Chromium Gerrit had suggested that Google was working on Chromebooks powered by AMD’s Ryzen chips, but the latest developments now appear to have laid those speculations to rest; at least, for now. That being said, it’s still possible that the company will release cheaper, Ryzen-powered models in the future, although, I wouldn’t be holding my breath for it.
