CheckMag On paper, the Legion Go is a great compromise. The bigger than average screen and detachable controllers could feasibly pull double duty as a gaming and highly portable productivity machine, negating the need to carry a handheld for play and a laptop for work. But the term jack of all trades, master of none, leaves little hope for the Legion Go 2.

Hardware Unboxed has put the RX 9070 XT and the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti against each other in 55 games to see the actual performance difference between the two GPUs. Per the testing, the performance of the RTX 5070 Ti is within spitting distance of the RX 9070 XT, making the Radeon GPU a much better value.

The Ayaneo AM01S may be almost a year old. However, the mini-PC has not received a release of any kind yet. Instead, Ayaneo has now confirmed that the AM01S will be launching with a more powerful AMD APU in the form of the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370.

Despite impressive efficiency results in our review, AMD has now semi-officially confirmed that RDNA 4 will not make it to mobile devices in any way, not even as Zen 6 iGPUs. The good news is that this suggests AMD may eventually port FSR 4 to older generations, as the AMD Ryzen Strix Halo APU still uses RDNA 3.5 for its RTX 4060-tier iGPU performance, and the upcoming Medusa Halo iGPU is slated to deliver even more performance.
