The latest entry from Geekbench database pretty much confirmed that the ASUS ROG Ally will have two different versions, featuring two different Ryzen Z1 custom APUs. While both are AMD's Phoenix APUs with Zen 4 CPU and RDNA 3 GPU architectures, they will have different specifications, with the Ryzen Z1 Extreme featuring an 8-core/16-thread configuration with 12 Compute Units (CUs) GPU, the Ryzen Z1 non-Extreme will end up with a 6-core/12-thread CPU configuration and 4 RDNA 3 CUs.
The Ryzen Z1 Extreme SKU was detailed yesterday, and this newest leak also confirms two different versions of the ASUS ROG Ally handheld console, as previously leaked. The entry in Geekbench database also shows a small difference in clock speeds between those two Ryzen Z1 SKUs, with the base frequency of 3.2 GHz and Boost of 4.9 GHz (4,939 MHz) for the non-Extreme. The Ryzen Z1 Extreme has a base frequency of 3.3 GHz and Boost up to almost 5.1 GHz (5,062 MHz).
The non-Extreme Ryzen Z1 SKU will have a big impact on the GPU side, as this SKU will pack 2 CUs (4 RDNA 3 CUs) as shown in the Geekbench entry. This means it will have just 256 Stream Processors. The Ryzen Z1 Extreme iGPU was already detailed to pack 6 CUs (12 RDNA 3 CUs), for a total of 768 Stream Processors, making it significantly more powerful.
As detailed earlier, the ASUS ROG Ally will come with a 7-inch 1920x1080 resolution screen with 500 nits of brightness, 120 Hz refresh rate, and a 7 ms response time. It will pair up the Ryzen Z1 APU with 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM in dual-channel mode (at least for the Ryzen Z1 Extreme version), and feature 512 GB of PCIe Gen 4 M.2-2230 internal storage.
Unfortunately, we still do not have a precise launch date or any solid hint about the price, but ASUS did announce it will be available worldwide and could come sooner than anyone expected.
