The Ryzen Z1 Extreme uses AMD’s high-end Zen 4 APU configuration, with eight Zen 4 cores and six RDNA 3 WGPs.
The ROG Ally uses it and you can dedicate 50% of the memory to the GPU and it performs quite well.
- nfriedly 3y agoTo be fair, I think the complaint of wanting more GPU and less CPU is reasonable, even in the context of the Z1 Extreme. 2 less CPU cores in exchange for more GPU cores, cache, and/or memory bandwidth would make it a more gaming oriented chip. The RX 7600, AMD's lowest-end current-gen graphics card, has several times more CUs and memory bandwidth, so I think there's some room for improvement without undercutting their dGPU business. The Z1 Extreme is essentially the same chip as the 7840U, AMD's highest tier U-series (15~30W) chip. In other words, it's a general-purpose design, not specifically gaming oriented.
