Ryzen Z2 Go is seemingly 10% slower than Ryzen Z1 Extreme — Legion Go S clashes with ROG Ally X

Lenovo Legion Go S.

AMD recently announced the Ryzen Z2 Go APU, so there are a lot of questions about the amount of performance it brings to the table compared to the Ryzen Z1 series. Thankfully, our curiosity was fulfilled by Fps VN when they shared the FPS test results of the Lenovo Legion Go S versus the Asus ROG Ally X across three games with different power settings.

Lenovo launched the Legion Go S, featuring the Ryzen Z2 Go APU. It has half the cores of the Z1 Extreme and uses a Zen 3+ architecture (instead of Zen 4). It also has lower base (3.0 GHz vs. 3.3 GHz) and boost (4.3 GHz vs. 5.1 GHz) clocks. Nevertheless, Lenovo chose it for its latest gaming handhelds, so we’re curious to see how it performs against the previous generation's top-of-the-line AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip.
