ASUS ROG Xbox Ally handhelds announced, featuring AMD Ryzen Z2 Series

Microsoft has developed a custom windows version with a different UI than regular widows which is better suited for handhelds. On top of that, the custom version cuts down on background processes compared to regular windows resulting in 2GB less ram usage and 3 times the standby efficiency.

We'll see if MSoft also manages to improve the performance of the device with that lighter version of Windows.

Also, and because they've proved that they can alter the way Windows runs depending on the programs and hardware (making games run only on the X3D cores), it would be great if they can bring some of what they're doing for that handheld version of Windows to the regular desktop one, so that there are less stuff running in the background and there are moe CPU cycles for games.

Looks good. Too bad the requirements to get one will make it something very few people will have.

AMD expands FSR4 game list to 65 titles, 28 new this week

Still no word on FSR4 coming to older generations of Radeon cards outside of RDNA 4. Personally I think the way Radeon sells it's multi-generational gpu lineup at the same time with different features is dumb. You have some gpus that have the latest features like RDNA 4 but then you have things like Strix Halo and Z2 handhelds featuring RDNA 3.5 which doesn't have FSR 4 yet being sold at the sametime. Hell, Z2A is actually Zen 2 and RDNA 2 just to make it even more confusing.

It's quite clear to me that AMD won't bring FSR4 to older hardware, but they didn't want to say that because they wated to avoid as much negativity around the new products as possible. Now that they no longer care, see the "8GB is still fine" mishap rom Azor, I'm sure they'll bring the news sooner rather than later.
