ROG ALLY Z1 versus Z1 Best Competitive performance

COMPARISON OF THE EXTREME PERFORMANCE AND FEATURES OF THE ROG ALLY Z1 AND THE Z1

At the beginning of this year, we showed the rest of the world the ROG Ally, a Windows gaming portable that is capable of playing all of your games regardless of where you are. The ROG Ally is a AAA monster that pushes the capabilities of current handhelds to a whole new level with to its brilliant and colourful 1080p 120Hz screen, ergonomic form factor, and fantastic AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme APU.

Now, we are pleased to inform that the Ryzen Z1 model of the ROG Ally is now available for purchase, with all of the same capabilities and a price tag that is more reasonable.

The AMD Ryzen Z1 comes with the newest RDNA 3 graphics engine and full support for AMD’s fantastic upscaling technologies, such as FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) and Radeon Super Resolution (RSR). It is based on the same Zen 4 architecture as the Ryzen Z1 Extreme.

The Ryzen Z1 offers the same strong power delivery and ROG Intelligent Cooling innovations that make the Z1 Extreme so powerful, but at a price that is more accessible. Additionally, the Ryzen Z1 includes six cores and twelve threads in addition to four graphics compute units.

Furthermore, several other games surpassed 45 or 60 frames per second for a seamless experience when played handheld. The following is a collection of games that we examined, followed by a comparison of the two different ROG Ally models:
