AMD has finally unveiled its Ryzen Z2 series of chipsets, and the red team's APUs will power new gaming handhelds starting Q1 2025. The red team plans to release three different options that will cater to portable PC players, with models including the new Lenovo Legion Go range, future Asus ROG Ally devices, and even (maybe) the next Steam Deck. I say maybe, as while the red team's own press release implies Valve's device is on board, it'll probably be a custom variant.
Outside of its CES 2025 keynote, AMD revealed three chips - the Ryzen Z2 Extreme, Ryzen Z2, and Ryzen Z2 Go. The first two are set to feature 8 cores and 16 threads, but the Z2E will provide the best gaming handhelds this year with 16 graphics cores. The non-extreme version sticks with the same CU count as the Ryzen Z1, whereas the 'Go' scales things back to 4 cores and 16 threads.
