Republic of Gamers (ROG) introduced the ROG Ally, an incredibly powerful handheld gaming device running on Windows 11. Equipped with the cutting-edge AMD Ryzen™ Z1 Extreme processor, the Ally delivers seamless gameplay for both AAA and indie titles in 1080p resolution. With extensive support and partnerships across the gaming industry, the Ally aims to establish itself as the ultimate handheld gaming machine.
Experience Full HD Gaming in the Palm of Your Hand
The ROG Ally represents the next generation of handheld gaming, offering Full HD (FHD) gaming on the go. It outperforms any other handheld device in running modern AAA titles, ensuring faster and smoother gameplay. Since it operates on Windows 11, users can enjoy games from various platforms. Moreover, the Ally comes with a three-month subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate upon purchase. Gamers can play solo, connect to a TV for multiplayer sessions, or enhance their gaming experience with the ROG XG Mobile suite, which includes external GPUs for top-tier performance.
The Ally is powered by the groundbreaking Ryzen Z1 Series processor from AMD, incorporating the “Zen 4” architecture and AMD RDNA 3 graphics. This processor boasts 8 cores, 16 threads, and up to 8.6 teraflops of graphics processing power, rivalling that of game consoles. In addition, an AMD Ryzen Z1 variant with 6 cores and 12 processing threads will be released later in 2023. Both models support AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution and AMD Radeon Super Resolution upscaling technologies, delivering exceptional performance and stunning visuals in demanding AAA and indie titles. Renato Fragale, senior director of product management for the Consumer and Gaming Client Business at AMD, expressed excitement about the partnership with ROG and the opportunity to redefine mobile gaming with the Ryzen Z1 Series processors.
The ROG Ally incorporates the innovative ROG Zero Gravity thermal system, which features a dual-fan setup with ultrathin heatsink fins and high-friction heat pipes. This system ensures efficient cooling in any device orientation. Additionally, the Ally comes with 16 GB of high-speed LPDDR5 6400 MHz memory, 512 GB of PCIe Gen 4 storage, and a UHS-II microSD card slot for expanded storage capacity. With WiFi 6E support, users can expect a stable connection even in congested networks, whether they’re engaged in multiplayer matches or streaming games through Xbox Cloud Gaming or AMD Link.
A flagship gaming performance demands an impressive display, and the Ally delivers. Its 120 Hz FHD touchscreen, combined with AMD FreeSync Premium technology, guarantees supreme motion clarity in fast-paced games without any tearing or stuttering. The display’s maximum brightness of 500 nits enables gamers to easily track the action, even in challenging environments such as outdoors. The touchscreen display also facilitates seamless navigation of Windows 11, allowing gamers to adjust settings or install new games effortlessly.
