AMD has announced two new additions to its Ryzen Z2 series of processors meant for handheld gaming devices. The company has introduced a new top-of-the-line Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme, which is essentially the Z2 Extreme with a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU). As a quick reminder, the original lineup was announced back in January and included the Ryzen Z2 Extreme, Ryzen Z2, and the Ryzen Z2 Go.
The second chip is the Ryzen Z2 A, which is stacked directly below the Ryzen Z2 Go, featuring fewer GPU cores and a lower configurable TDP (Thermal Design Power). These new additions indicate that we could see a wide range of handheld gaming consoles launch this year, potentially targeting the holiday season.
