AMD’s new Ryzen Z2 Extreme APU is rumored to feature 16 RDNA 3.5 GPU cores and 8 Zen 5 CPU cores – ultimately leading to greater performance and battery life for gaming handheld devices. It will become the new flagship APU for AMD among the Strix Point APU range, with the potential of new handheld devices releasing from the likes of Asus, MSI, and perhaps even a next-gen Valve Steam Deck.

This is set to be a major improvement over AMD’s Z1 and Z1 Extreme chips, which are present in the Asus ROG Ally X and MSI Claw 8 AI+ handheld devices. There will be three variants on this occasion, unlike the aforementioned first-gen Z chips, with the new arrival being AMD’s Ryzen Z2G – which reportedly comes with 12 RDNA 2 cores.
