A second Asus ROG Ally variant has been spotted on Geekbench running an AMD Ryzen Z1. It features a 6-core, 12-thread CPU and an iGPU with 2 WGPs (4 CUs). <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Asus ROG Ally handheld gaming console made its Geekbench debut<\/a> yesterday with a custom AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip. It packed 8 CPU cores and an iGPU with 6 WGPs (12 CUs). However, a new Geekbench <\/a>listing confirms the existence of a second, slightly-less-powerful Phoenix-based Asus ROG Ally variant.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

The mystery console was spotted on the benchmarking platform<\/a> running a chip called the AMD Ryzen Z1. Unlike its sibling, it has six cores\/twelve threads and an iGPU with 2 WGPs (4 CUs). Interestingly, it has the same identifier as the Radeon 780M<\/a> (gfx1103). As a result, its Geekbench OpenCL score is lacklustre (3,152 and 3,115)- a tenth of what the Ryzen Z1 Extreme scored. <\/p>\n

The Ryzen Z1 powering the unknown Asus ROG Ally variant has a boost clock of 4.9 GHz, marginally lower than its Extreme-branded version. That said, Geekbench lists are easy to fake, so it’s best to treat the above listing with some scepticism. It would make little sense for Asus to release a crippled version of its first console, especially in an era when there are plenty of Ryzen 7000-powered handhelds<\/a> on the market. <\/p>\n
