AMD puts Lenovo Chromebook with Ryzen 5 Pro 3500U on its site

A Lenovo C330 Chromebook with a Ryzen CPU has appeared on AMD’s website. The laptop would contain a Ryzen 5 Pro 3500U with integrated Vega 8 GPU. It would be the first Chromebook with an AMD Ryzen processor. The laptop has not yet been officially announced.

The Lenovo C330 Chromebook with Ryzen CPU was spotted by a Reddit user. The laptop is listed on AMD’s website under ‘AMD-powered laptops’. This would be the first Chromebook with a Ryzen CPU; AMD previously made Chromebook APUs. The company already released a successor to the C330 last year in the form of the Lenovo C340.

The C330 has a Ryzen 5 Pro 3500U clocked at 2.1GHz and an integrated Radeon Vega 8 GPU with eight compute units. The Chromebook also has 4GB of RAM and a ’32GB HDD’. The current Lenovo C330 also has emmc flash memory. The laptop has an 11.6″ screen, but no mention is made of the screen resolution or panel type. The current C330 models have an IPS screen with a resolution of 1366×768 pixels. The 11″ variants of the C340 also have this .

There is also nothing on the site about connections. The current C330 laptops have two USB 3.2 Gen 1 connections with throughput speeds of up to 5Gbit/s. One of these USB ports is type-c. The laptop is also charged with this. In addition, the current C330 Chromebooks have an HDMI connection, an SD card reader and a 3.5mm jack for audio. It is still unclear whether the Ryzen variant will contain the same connections.

AMD’s website lists a price of $304, but this appears to be an error. The price mentioned referred to a Lenovo C330 laptop with MediaTek 8963C-soc, NotebookCheck reports. The Ryzen variant is expected to be more expensive. It is not yet known if and when the Ryzen Chromebook will be officially announced. The release date has not yet been announced.
