The ASUS ROG Ally has been spotted on certification sites, revealing leaked specifications that suggest it could be powered by AMD's Ryzen 7840U Phoenix APU. The product number has been leaked online, and pre-production samples have been seen moving between ASUS headquarters. The ASUS ROG Ally has been spotted at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) site with two product codes, the RC71L and the RC71X, which could indicate different memory and storage configurations or even a different color.
While the pre-production samples show that the ASUS ROG Ally is powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 7840U APU, the company has mentioned a "custom" APU, which means that the final product may have something different, such as a higher clock. The AMD Ryzen 7040 U-series has yet to be officially announced, but the Ryzen 7 7840U fits into AMD's thin and light segment with TDP ranging from 15 W to 28 W. It is rumored to be an 8-core/16-thread Zen 4 CPU with a 3.3 GHz base clock and features AMD Radeon 780M RDNA 3 architecture GPU with 12 Compute Units (CU), or a total of 768 stream processors. ASUS may use a completely different APU for the final product, but so far, pre-production samples show the Ryzen 7 7840U.
ASUS has previously announced that the ROG Ally will be available worldwide and could launch sooner than expected.
