Competition in the handheld market is heating up once again, as Lenovo is rumored to announce a budget-friendly Legion Go S soon. Thanks to new data from WinFuture, the Legion Go S is likely the first handheld to be powered by AMD's new Z2G APUs—expected to debut in 2025—while offering a 120 Hz 1080p screen, a 512GB SSD, and 16GB of RAM.
The Ryzen Z2G - short for Z2 Go - is allegedly based on AMD's Rembrandt architecture featuring eight Zen 3+ CPU cores and an RDNA 2 iGPU (Integrated GPU) with 12 Compute Units. While the Z2G doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the latest Ryzen AI 300 (Strix Point) APUs - or even Phoenix, for that matter - it is significantly cheaper to produce and should result in lower shelf prices. On a more technical level, the Z2G mirrors AMD's Ryzen 7 6800U, which features 16MB of L3 cache - standard for all octa-core APUs from AMD - and 4MB of L2 cache. The clock speeds might see a slight bump - currently at 4.7 GHz - but don't expect a drastic change in performance.
