ASUS' upcoming gaming handheld, the ROG Ally, is coming out on May 11, and the world-leading tech manufacturer has high hopes for its Steam Deck rival.
After much speculation, ASUS has officially confirmed the spec sheet for the ROG Ally and it's worth the hype. Powering the entire thing is a pair of AMD Ryzen Z1-series chips, likely for different variants. We can presume that the "cheaper" version will get the 6-core, 12-thread SoC custom AMD Ryzen Z1-series APU while the more premium version will come equipped with the Ryzen Z1 Extreme variant with eight Zen 4 cores and 16 threads.
ASUS is so confident in the device's powerful chips that it basically dissed Valve by saying it won't need a validation system, saying that the ROG Ally "should be able to play all games without needing validation from either our team or the game publishers.
On paper, the combination of the powerful Zen 4/RDNA 3 APU can guarantee smooth gameplay. But, we've learned over the years that real-life performance doesn't always reflect what's under the hood, or to speak.
