AMD Ryzen Z1 APUs For ASUS ROG Ally Handheld Come In Two Flavors: Z1 Extreme With 8 Cores & Z1 With 6 Cores

wccftech.com:

AMD seems to be preparing two custom Ryzen Z1 series APU based on its Phoenix design for the ASUS ROG Ally handheld console.

Yesterday, we got to see the custom AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme APU which is designed for the ASUS ROG Ally handheld gaming console in action. The APU is part of the Phoenix family but instead of using the Ryzen 7040 nomenclature, it gets its own designated Z1 series branding. We got to see the Extreme variant in earlier tests but based on the latest benchmarks, it looks like another SKU exists.

The AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme features 8 Zen 4 cores with 16 threads, 16 MB L3 cache 8 MB L2 cache. It comes with a base clock of 3.30 GHz which boosts close to 5.1 GHz and should have a TDP in the 15-28W range. The iGPU is the Radeon 780M which features 12 RDNA 3 compute units for a total of 768 cores. These should clock above 2 GHz with ease though the Geekbench database only lists the base clock of 800 MHz.

In addition to the Z1 Extreme, there's also the standard AMD Ryzen Z1 APU which features 6 Zen 4 cores, 12 threads, 16 MB of L3 cache, 6 MB of L2 cache. This chip has a lower base and boost clock set to 3.20 GHz and 5.0 GHz, respectively. The GPU-side includes 4 RDNA 3 compute units for just 256 cores. That's 66% fewer cores than the Radeon 780M iGPU featured on the Extreme & the base clock is once again set to 800 MHz. It isn't known if this chip will be a second SKU or just for use in a prototype build of the ASUS ROG Ally handheld console.
