ASUS has finally launched its ROG Ally gaming console based on AMD hardware. This is the first handheld console developed by ASUS and the first console to ever feature the AMD Ryzen […]
Since these are amd’s marketing tdp numbers, the actual limit would be 35% higher at 20W for van gogh and 40W for Z1e. Both handhelds have 40000Wh batteries and steam deck already dips below 1.5 hours with some games, meaning the screen, cooling and conversion losses add up to 6W.
If people continue to play their games at 800x1280x60 on the rog ally it will last longer but if they try utilizing the better screen and faster apu it will have much worse battery life. It also needs stronger cooling or it will inevitably ruin hotter reducing battery efficiency, and it has a brighter&faster screen too.
Apu twice as power hungry as steam deck’s, but battery capacity is the same. You can maybe play for an hour at 1080p 120fps and 500nits.
That’s not entirely true. The APU is more efficient, and is on a newer node.
It may not be as efficient, but it’s definitely not the same power usage.
Not sure what you’re trying to say but
Van gogh’s tdp range is 4-15W
Z1e’s tdp is 9-30W
