![]() ![]() There’s a big difference between the APUs, but the Steam Deck and ROG Ally have some specs in common as well. The Steam Deck’s APU also tops out at 15 watts, while the ROG Ally can go up to 30W in its Turbo mode. Regardless of the model you choose, you’re getting four Zen 2 cores and eight RDNA 2 cores, which offer up to 1.6 TFLOPs of theoretical performance. Image used with permission by copyright holderīy comparison, the Steam Deck is packing much weaker hardware. That enables much higher performance - up to 8.6 TFLOPs, according to AMD.Īsus will have models with the Z1 Extreme and base Z1 available, but for now, all we have is the Z1 Extreme version. The Ryzen Z1 Extreme, by contrast, comes with eight Zen 4 cores and a massive 12 RDNA 3 cores. The Ryzen Z1 comes with six Zen 4 cores and four RDNA 3 cores for a total of up to 2.8 TFLOPS of theoretical performance. AMD has two of these Z1 processors available, though, and they’re very different. The ROG Ally is powered by AMD’s Z1 Series processors, which are custom APUs leveraging Zen 4 CPU cores and RDNA 3 GPU cores. The ROG Ally looks pretty, that’s for sure, but it’s really the underlying hardware that makes Asus’ handheld exciting. Some curious specs Jacob Roach / Digital Trends The Steam Deck is a hair cheaper, but as I’ll dig into, the ROG Ally more than justifies a $50 price hike. There will definitely be more to the conversation with pricing once the Ryzen Z1 model is available, but for the flagship designs, the Steam Deck and ROG Ally are equally matched. It’s true you can get the Steam Deck for less, but for something competitive with the ROG Ally, the difference is only $50. To get 512GB, which is what the ROG Ally with the Z1 Extreme has, you’ll need to spend $650. The Steam Deck is as cheap as $400, but that’s only with 64GB of slow storage. A cheaper model sporting the Ryzen Z1 is set to arrive later in the year, priced at $600. It’s currently available from Best Buy exclusively, and although I was worried it would sell out immediately, it’s still in stock for list price. The ROG Ally with the Z1 Extreme costs $700. I use Steam every day, and I couldn’t live without these 6 hidden featuresĭon’t worry Armored Core VI is ‘fully supported’ on Steam Deck Or, if there's a solution to read/write such parameters other than stock BIOS setup and armoury crate, I'd appreciate it.Asus just embarrassed everyone with its new gaming keyboard I'd like to use i2c or SPI to edit those values according to my needs. It looks like Asus holds config for PWM values in a memory region not controlled directly by UEFI BIOS, which I find odd and disturbing.ĭoes anyone have memory map for these boards? I installed armoury crate again and uninstalled it after one run and it restored the settings. Even if I set them to lowest values possible regardless of temperature, fans still ran at full speed. In the BIOS setup, settings for the fans didn't affect fixed 100% power. ![]() ![]() ![]() I had that app before, there were some problems with it, I uninstalled it, fans went to 100%. It works in a magical and mysterious ways.I have Linux as 2nd system and I want same system configuration regardless of the system.I know that there's an app for this in armoury crate, but honestly, I don't want to use it for 3 reasons. I would like to control all of these in the BIOS. I can run Q-fan tuning, BIOS determines the lowest PWM FF for each fan and sets minimum there - and I can't change that.Įven better, in PWM mode there's no option to stop the fans. Now I have fans that can rev quite slow and I wanted to make more sophisticated profiles, but still absolutely no fans spinning until 35 deg C. I have a bunch of quality PWM fans in my system and I want to control them with my MB.īefore, I had simple DC fans and I could allow for fan stop up to 35 deg C and after passing that temps, tuned profiles for all of them. ![]()
