Lenovo is allegedly set to take on the Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally with its own handheld gaming device. According to its sources, sibling-site Windows Central reports that Lenovo is developing a Windows 11 handheld PC dubbed the “Legion Go.” If true, the already oversaturated handheld gaming market is about to get even more crowded.
Windows Central says the rumored Lenovo handheld will pack AMD’s new Ryzen 7040 “Phoenix” CPU, which debuted during CES 2023. This chip features an AI engine named Ryzen AI, which AMD claims is the first laptop chip to feature a dedicated AI engine. The company also says the new chip can churn through multiprocessing workloads in Cinebench nT up to 34% faster than the Apple M1 Pro. The AMD chip supposedly delivers up to 30 hours of video playback on a laptop — which is certainly a huge claim.
