What is the difference between the Ryzen Z1 vs Ryzen Z1 Extreme?
- Z1 (non-Extreme) is like a Ryzen 5 (12 core) and has integrated Radeon 740M
- Z1 Extreme is like Ryzen 7 (16 core) and has integrated Radeon 780M
What are the gaming performance differences?
- the performance for general usage and 2D gaming is not noticeable
- heavy 3D games will be significant since the 780M is up to 3 times faster than the 740M depending on the game being played

the Z1 is essentially a Ryzen 5 with Radeon 740M
the Z1 Extreme is a Ryzen 7 with Radeon 780M
That is very significant gaming performance.
I saw $480-$490 for used Z1 Extreme models, that is worth the price difference to ensure getting better gaming performance.
