AMD is seemingly cooking up a new collection of APUs for the best gaming handhelds. That should come as zero surprise considering the growing popularity of portable PCs like the Steam Deck, but I'm not convinced the chipmaker has made up its mind on specs yet. The reason? Leaks revealing core counts for the Ryzen Z2 Extreme have already been amended just hours after their initial arrival.
Yesterday, AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme specs leaked courtesy of Bilibili user Golden Pig, claiming that the RDNA 3.5 chip would arm future handheld contenders with 12 Compute Units (via Videocardz). The leaker also revealed that there was originally a 16 CU version in the worked dubbed the Ryzen Z2E X, but it was supposedly cancelled.
