Leak: Asus ROG Ally X Doubles Battery Size?
The upcoming Asus ROG Ally X gaming handheld will feature a significantly increased battery capacity of 80Wh, double that of its predecessor, and includes two USB-C ports. Despite the larger battery, the device is only marginally heavier and thicker. Additionally, it maintains the same Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip and 7-inch screen but upgrades to 24GB of LPDDR5 memory, potentially enhancing gaming performance.
What type of memory is included in the Asus ROG Ally X, and how might this affect its performance?
The Asus ROG Ally X is rumored to come with 24GB of faster LPDDR5 memory. This is an increase from the original ROG Ally, which had 16GB of LPDDR5 memory. The additional 8GB of overhead that the Ally X has can be shared with the GPU, which could potentially lead to a slight improvement in gaming performance. The memory speed/bandwidth might matter more for integrated GPU performance in some cases.
