According to the most recent tests cited to the 9to5Google by a supposed Google developer, this model would perform very close to that of an RTX 3060 Mobile with the benefits of having a more modern architecture.
The memories would be in the DDR5 standard and, for the first time in a Chromebook, could be exchanged to increase capacity. In turn, the ChromeOS should receive new functions, optimizations and more options for compatibility to try to appeal to gamers.
