Realistically I don't think you'll see performance anywhere near PS5 and Series X, due to clock rates being throttled to save on battery life and such, as well as the mobile CPU compared to PS5 and Seies X having a proper desktop CPU, but I haven't seen any benchmarks yet. Edit: And indeed I was right. While the Asus ROG specs seem impressive on paper, after looking at it's real world performance from multiple reviews' benchmarks just now, it doesn't seem to perform even close to to the 8.4 tflop you're seeing on paper, a number which makes it seem like it would perform between Series S and PS5. |
Yes the 8.6TF is greatly misleading to what the chip can actually do when comparing to RDNA2.
A 780m (RDNA3) is roughly 25% more powerful than a 680m (RDNA2) but has over double the teraflops. The gpu in the Ally is essentially the 780m.
There are plenty of benchmarks already for the 780m the only real difference is the 780m can boost up to 2.9ghz while this boosts to 2.7ghz. It's roughly a GTX 1650, so expect Series S level performance.
Those expecting a big improvement over the 1.6TF steam deck with the basic 2.5TF Ally are in for a big shock. It might actually perform worse. Another reason why at $599 it's a completely pointless product next to the $699 model.
