AMD is reportedly cooking up a new gaming handheld CPU that has over twice the power of the existing Steam Deck chip. According to the latest leak, the new AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme features eight cores based on the latest Zen 5 CPU architecture, and it also has an unexpectedly powerful Radeon GPU in it. This wouldn’t just be great for the Steam Deck 2, but also other handhelds, such as the next Asus ROG Ally.
The existence of the AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme has been known for a while now, but AMD hasn’t released any details about the specs yet. If this latest rumor is true, though, then this chip is very likely to be used in the best handheld gaming PC devices of the future, perhaps even the Steam Deck 2.
