ASUS ROG Ally Handheld Console With AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme “Phoenix” APU Leak Reveals 768 RDNA 3 Cores
The first benchmarks of AMD's Ryzen Z1 Extreme "Phoenix" APU featured in the ASUS ROG Ally handheld console have leaked out.
Earlier it was reported that ASUS was working with AMD to utilize a custom Ryzen 7000 APU in its upcoming ROG Ally console. This APU was revealed to be part of the AMD Z1 series & it looks like the chip has made its first appearance within the Geekbench benchmark database.
Starting with the specifications, we are looking at 8 Zen 4 cores with 16 threads on the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme APU which is technically part of the Phoenix family. This chip features a clock speed of 3.30 GHz and boosts up to 5.05 GHz. The APU features 16 MB of L3 cache, and 8 MB of L2 cache and is equipped with 12 GB of DDR5 memory which may likely be an error or a different config of this particular console.
As for the GPU side, the APU is configured with 6 RDNA 3 compute units which are clocked at 800 MHz though this could be the base clock as RDNA 3 runs over 2 GHz across its various integrated implementations on Phoenix APUs.
The APU clock speeds of over 5 GHz are definitely higher than the reported clock speeds of the AMD Ryzen 7 7840U featured on the AOKZOE A1 Pro & AOKZOE A2 handheld consoles that are clocked up to 4.7 GHz.
The AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme APU scored 35,498 points which are comparable to the GeForce GTX 1060 in OpenCL. This score is in line with the other AMD Radeon 780M RDNA 3 iGPU scores from other devices:
ASUS said in its announcement video that the ROG Ally will make use of the fastest custom-made APU yet that was worked on by AMD & ROG. The renders make it look like a custom version of AMD Rembrandt or Phoenix APUs though that remains to be seen. Since we are talking about RDNA 3, it will support AMD's RSR and FSR
