The ThinkPad maker has reportedly been quietly preparing a new AMD Phoenix processor-packing handheld to battle entrenched rivals from Valve and ASUS.
There are reports that Lenovo is about to apply its significant resources to the handheld gaming PC market. Apparently, the ThinkPad maker has been quietly preparing a new AMD Phoenix processor-packing handheld to battle entrenched rivals from Valve (Steam Deck) and ASUS (ROG Ally). Right now, details about the purported ‘Legion Go’ are very thin on the ground, but the device might stand out for being one of the biggest handhelds yet, with an 8-inch screen rumored.
Using one of AMD’s Phoenix processors seems to be a winning strategy for handheld gaming device makers in 2023. These mobile processors offer a hard to beat mix of AMD’s newest CPU and GPU cores with a modest thirst for watts.
