    Is the Xbox Ally X a different thing from a ROG Ally X? Is it the same thing as a ROG Xbox Ally X?

    Fuck Microsoft for this naming convention convention bullshit.

      It’s not the same thing. The ROG Ally X is an AMD Z1 Extreme and the Xbox Ally X is an AMD Z2 Extreme. It’s not clear yet how well the Z2 Extreme performs in comparison to the Z1 Extreme.

      The Phawx did some testing with the Legion Go 2 and their Z2 (non-extreme) performs worse than the ROG Ally X. -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVdOkbJ9Npo&pp=ygUVTGVnaW9uIEdvIDIgdGhlIHBoYXd4

      My cautious expectation is that it will perform marginally better than the ROG Ally X, maybe be 10-15%, though I’m not touching anything Microsoft at this time in history.
