Leaks and teases around the Asus ROG Ally, Steam Deck competitor.
Asus, the big tease, has been hinting all over about the upcoming ROG Ally, the company's own Steam Deck rival. While there's no official release date as yet, Asus has taken to Twitter to let us know"it may be sooner than you expect." Alongside this little stir, rumours are now coming thick and fast around a leak that potentially nails which GPU this powerful little handheld gaming device's custom SoC is going to be built around.
Importantly, the Radeon 780M supports DirectX 12 Ultimate which should help improve the Windows gaming experience, since Asus has already confirmed it's choice of OS. Asus has a history of packing low TDP Ryzen HS-series processors into its mobile machines, and since the ROG Ally is going to need some special treatment in that department as a gaming handheld, we're likely going to see TDP improvements over the standard processor. Otherwise, there's no word on the company's plans for the custom SoC.
The ROG Ally shipping manifest also clearly shows the Asus model number RC71L and RC71X, which are easy enough to find on the Asus website, as well as in Federal Communications Commission listings. These L and X codes hint at the possibility of at least two Asus ROG Ally models, though whether that will mean a difference in storage, power, or simply in colour is unclear.
