AMD's top handheld chip running scores are exposed: Super powerful performance is comparable to laptops!

　　AMD's strongest palm machine, the Ryzen Z2 Extreme, recently completed its Geekbench debut, and its CPU and GPU performance both showed top-notch standards. As the first batch of devices equipped with this chip, the MSI Claw A8 handheld console is equipped with 24GB of LPDDR5X memory. The test results reveal the actual performance of the Z2 Extreme for the first time.

　　In terms of CPU, the single-threaded performance of Z2 Extreme exceeds all Strix Point APUs, and the multi-threaded performance is comparable to the 10-core Ryzen AI 9 365; compared with the previous generation Z1 Extreme, the single-core and multi-threaded performance is 26.5% and 27% respectively. This result shows that the handheld machine is comparable to that of laptops under limited power dissipation and heat dissipation.

In terms of graphics performance, integrated graphics card Radeon 890M (RDNA 3.5 architecture) performs strongly, comparable to notebook-level configuration. The specific power consumption mode (15-35W) has not been clarified yet, but the performance at 35W is already impressive enough.

In terms of architecture details, the Z2 Extreme adopts the Zen 5 architecture, 8 cores and 16 thread design (3 high-performance Zen 5 cores + 5 efficient Zen 5C cores), the highest frequency of Zen 5 cores is 5GHz, the maximum Zen 5C cores are 3.3GHz, and the basic frequency is 2GHz; it is equipped with 8MB L2 cache and 16MB L3 cache. The graphics part integrates the Radeon 890M with a 16 computing unit, with a frequency of 2.9GHz, and supports FSR, Frame-Gen, Fluid Motion Frames and other technologies.
