A second Asus ROG Ally variant has been spotted on Geekbench running an AMD Ryzen Z1. It features a 6-core, 12-thread CPU and an iGPU with 2 WGPs (4 CUs).

The Asus ROG Ally handheld gaming console made its Geekbench debut yesterday with a custom AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip. It packed 8 CPU cores and an iGPU with 6 WGPs (12 CUs). However, a new Geekbench listing confirms the existence of a second, slightly-less-powerful Phoenix-based Asus ROG Ally variant.

The mystery console was spotted on the benchmarking platform running a chip called the AMD Ryzen Z1. Unlike its sibling, it has six cores/twelve threads and an iGPU with 2 WGPs (4 CUs). Interestingly, it has the same identifier as the Radeon 780M (gfx1103). As a result, its Geekbench OpenCL score is lacklustre (3,152 and 3,115)- a tenth of what the Ryzen Z1 Extreme scored.

The Ryzen Z1 powering the unknown Asus ROG Ally variant has a boost clock of 4.9 GHz, marginally lower than its Extreme-branded version. That said, Geekbench lists are easy to fake, so it’s best to treat the above listing with some scepticism. It would make little sense for Asus to release a crippled version of its first console, especially in an era when there are plenty of Ryzen 7000-powered handhelds on the market.
