AMD's upcoming Ryzen Z2 processor series continues to generate speculation after recent leaks from tech observer Hoang Anh Phu. The series potentially includes unconfirmed models like Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme and Ryzen Z2 A, expanding on the officially announced lineup of Z2 Extreme, Z2, and Z2 Go.
Technical rumors suggest the Z2 Extreme remains a handheld gaming processor using Zen 5 and RDNA 3.5 technologies. The potential Ryzen Z2 A might trace its lineage back to the Steam Deck's original Van Gogh chip design, potentially featuring a die shrink from 7 nm to 6 nm.
Phu's latest prediction indicates the Ryzen Z2 A could share graphics technology similarities with the entry-level Ryzen Z2 Go, which currently powers Lenovo's Legion Go S handheld gaming PC. The Z2 Go currently supports two operating system options: Windows 11 and SteamOS.
Future devices might emerge with these new APUs, potentially offering alternative handheld gaming experiences across different platforms and performance tiers. The ongoing speculation highlights the competitive landscape of mobile processor development.
