Simultaneously with the announcement of Xbox handheld consoles, AMD has declassified the processors used in the new products: Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme and Ryzen Z2A. The first SoC is notable for its built-in NPU module, while the second is positioned as a more affordable variant with basic characteristics.
The Ryzen Z2 AI Extreme SoC includes an 8-core CPU CPU is the abbreviation for central processing unit (the processor). The CPU is the brains of the computer where most calculations take place. on Zen 5 architecture, a 16-core GPU GPU-accelerated computing is the use of a graphics processing unit (GPU) together with a CPU to accelerate deep learning, analytics, and engineering applications. (RDNA 3.5) and a neuromodule with 50 TOPS performance. The novelty supports LPDDR5X standard RAM Random Access Memory (RAM) is the place in a computer where the operating system, application programs, and data in current use are kept so that they can be quickly reached by the computers processor., and its TDP level is configurable in the range from 15 to 35W. NPU, as the source writes, is aimed at working in conjunction with the Gaming Copilot function.
The more affordable Ryzen Z2A platform includes a quad-core CPU Each CPU CPU is the abbreviation for central processing unit (the processor). The CPU is the brains of the computer where most calculations take place. “core” is actually a separate central processing unit, which is the part of the CPU CPU is the abbreviation for central processing unit (the processor). The CPU is the brains of the computer where most calculations take place. that actually does the work. For example, a dual-core chip may look like a single CPU CPU is the abbreviation for central processing unit (the processor). The CPU is the brains of the computer where most calculations take place. chip, but it actually has two physical central processing units on the chip. (Zen 2), an 8-core GPU GPU-accelerated computing is the use of a graphics processing unit (GPU) together with a CPU to accelerate deep learning, analytics, and engineering applications. (RDNA 2), supports LPDDR5 standard RAM Random Access Memory (RAM) is the place in a computer where the operating system, application programs, and data in current use are kept so that they can be quickly reached by the computers processor. and allows you to customize the TDP level from 6W to 20W. The chip is not designed for high performance, but a small power figure, according to the company representatives, will provide a longer battery life of the device.
AMD has not yet provided information about the actual performance of the new SoCs. At the moment, only ASUS ROG Xbox Ally based on Ryzen Z2A, which is not yet on sale.
