AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme tipped to launch with an 8-core CPU

A previous leak said AMD was working on a Ryzen Z1 Extreme successor for handheld consoles. Some speculate it would be based on Strix Point and called the Ryzen Z2 Extreme. X leaker @Olrak29_ has spotted a manifest listing that sheds more light on it. It was spotted online codenamed Z2X28W 64-bit Microprocessor (8 core).

In the same thread, the leaker confirms the Ryzen Z2 Extreme will come with a mix of three Zen 5 and five Zen 5c CPU cores. It will be similar to the Kraken Point-based Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360 spotted a few weeks ago with the same configuration. AMD could play around with its clocks/TDP to fine-tune the chip for a handheld environment.The new Zen 5 cores, combined with a RDNA 3.5 iGPU, should give the Ryzen Z2 Extreme a competitive edge over Intel's Lunar Lake offerings, at least in terms of raw performance.

It shouldn't be long before we find out because AMD plans to launch the Ryzen Z2 Extreme in early 2025. Last time, Asus was the first one to use a Ryzen Z Extreme with the ROG Ally, and it'll be interesting to see who takes the first step this time. AMD probably won't release a non-Extreme version this time as its last-gen counterpart was only ever found on one console.
