While not entirely relevant for handheld game consoles, with the more demanding benchmarks the Ryzen Z1 Extreme was easily outperforming the Core Ultra 7 155H was consuming less power.

That's the quick weekend look at how the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme within the ASUS ROG Ally roughly compares to the Core Ultra 7 155H (Meteor Lake) in laptop form factor. It will be interesting to learn more this week at CES 2024 about MSI's handheld gaming console and any other new Meteor Lake powered devices. The integrated Arc Graphics with Meteor Lake continue to prove most interesting and generationally most significant but for general CPU workloads it's more challenging to compete against AMD's latest wares and for power efficiency.
