There may be more detailed responses with better inside information forthcoming, but I would not look for such a device on the immediate horizon.
This would necessitate and entirely new SoC, and hence a whole new mainboard. The current Rockchip RK3399 SoC, although 64-bit, is limted by hardware design to 4MB RAM.
Pine is also bootstrapping early community lifecycle for Pinephone and Pinetab, and I think it might be overly-ambitious to iterate on a new Pinebook for the same price point, at the same time!
