Huawei this week announced a new high-end MateBook X Pro laptop that packs Intel's latest Core Ultra 'Meteor Lake' processor with built-in AI accelerator, reports Nikkei. This was surprising: The U.S. government has blacklisted Huawei, and the company cannot get the latest processors from AMD and Intel without the approval of American authorities.
The Huawei MateBook X Pro 2024 can be based on the Core Ultra 7 155H or the Core Ultra 9 185H processor with built-in graphics that are programmed to support up to 40W TDP. The laptops will come with options for 16GB or 32GB of RAM and either 1TB or 2TB of NVMe PCIe storage, according to Huawei Central, though details like memory type or speed as well as SSD interface were not touched upon.
