AMD's Z1 Extreme APU has been a massive boon to the handheld gaming world, offering up impressive performance in hardware like the ASUS ROG Ally, ROG Ally X, and Lenovo Legion Go.
But AMD did not just create one Extreme chip before exiting the market. As revealed at IFA 2024, AMD was already working on the Z2 Extreme as a successor, with AMD's Senior VP, Jack Huynh, suggesting that it would improve battery life in performance mode from approximately 45 minutes to 3 hours.
