Lenovo Legion Go Handhelds May Use AMD Ryzen Z2 Next
Lenovo’s Legion Go debuted as one of the most prominent Windows-based Steam Deck competitors in 2023, and rumors of one or more follow-up devices have swirled for months. Amid leaks detailing AMD’s upcoming handheld gaming PC processors, new EEC filings indicate that Lenovo is preparing three new Legion Go models.
Upcoming Legion Go Models
Three new Lenovo Legion Go handheld gaming PC variants recently appeared in Eurasian Economic Commission product listings. Although information regarding the devices is scant, the filings add context to prior leaks concerning Lenovo’s upcoming catalog. The listings describe a Legion Go “S 8ARP1,” “8ASP2,” and “8AHP2.”
Possible Processor Options
While we can only speculate which chips will power the upcoming Legion Go devices, the upcoming Ryzen Z2 series is the logical choice for a successor. The Ryzen Z2 series is expected to come in three tiers: Z2 Extreme, Z2, and Z2G.
The Z2 Extreme combines an eight-core hybrid CPU with 16 RDNA 3.5 compute units, likely using the Radeon 890M iGPU. The middle-ranked Z2 might be a re-binned Z1 Extreme, and the lower-end Z2G uses an older Rembrandt CPU with an RDNA2 iGPU.
Key Features to Expect
The upcoming Legion Go models are expected to offer improved performance and enhanced gaming experiences. With the Ryzen Z2 series, Lenovo’s Legion Go may become a strong contender in the handheld gaming PC market.
