ROG Ally:
You’ve obviously heard of the Steam Deck, and perhaps Asus drew your attention to the upcoming ROG Ally with its not-an-April-Fools’-joke. But that’s apparently just the tip of the iceberg for AMD-powered Steam Deck rivals, which have at least four handhelds based on slivers of silicon the chipmaker has yet to reveal.
One of the reasons we got so excited about the Asus ROG Ally is that Asus hinted it might be the first handheld since Steam Deck to offer a custom part specifically tuned for portables — and a growing body of leaks suggests that collaboration with AMD is called the Ryzen Z1.
And today, Geekbench leaks (which should always be taken with a grain of salt) suggest Asus may actually be using two such chips: a six-core, 12-thread Ryzen Z1 with two RDNA 3 graphics compute units (CUs) and an eight-core, 16-thread Ryzen Z1 Extreme with six RNDA3 CUs, which could have higher performance and power consumption.
But get this. A shipping manifest spotted by VideoCardz also shows an ROG Ally with another unannounced name: the Ryzen 7 7840U, a 3.3GHz chip with Radeon 780M graphics that’s suspected to be all but identical to that Z1 Extreme.
And that Ryzen 7 7840U appears to be very much not exclusive to Asus — it has now been tipped for the Aokzoe A1 Pro, an unannounced Ayaneo 2S, and a GPD Win Mini clamshell, according to rumors and leaks.
New Hardware
Valve appears to be working on some stealthy changes for the Steam Deck’s internal hardware layout and cooling systems, according to some users. Without any fanfare whatsoever, Valve seems to have started changing the internals of its handheld gaming PC, but eagle-eyed users have already realized that something may be up on that front.
While Valve did explain that there’s no Steam Deck 2 on the horizon at this time, this decision doesn’t seem to include a number of relatively stealthy changes that are already being deployed for new owners of the device. Though it’s unlikely that these changes will lead to substantial changes in the games’ performance, they may yet prove interesting for a wholly different set of reasons.
Steam Deck users have discovered that Valve has begun shipping a new, seemingly region-specific variant of its handheld gaming PC. All the differences are internal, it’s worth pointing out, and some examples include a slight redesign of the motherboard, a new fan, a different heat sink setup, and a substantially altered EMI shield. What’s particularly noteworthy, however, is that even though this variation of the device hadn’t been spotted yet, it appears to have an earlier revision number than the devices that had been previously sold.
