What is the difference between the Ryzen Z1 vs Ryzen Z1 Extreme?
- Z1 (non-Extreme) is a Ryzen 5 (12 core) and has integrated Radeon 740M (256 shading units)
- Z1 Extreme is Ryzen 7 (16 core) and has integrated Radeon 780M (768 shading units)

What are the gaming performance differences?
- the performance for general usage, 2D gaming, and light 3D games 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

Link for comparison for Radeon 780M and 740M:

How does this perform against the Steam Deck?
- This falls a bit short of matching the Steam Deck in terms of gaming performance.

This version is underpowered. So much so that it's price is diving.

Based on previous SD posts, almost everyone says to go for the extreme processor. It is worth the price and can handle majority of the games out currently.

Only if you're looking at it strictly from a hardware standpoint while ignoring the intended use of the device. This is like comparing a stationary exercise bike to a regular road bicycle.

Yeah. The price on this model drops hard because it's a weaker processor than even the Steam Deck. It's better to buy the lowest end Steam Deck Model and upgrade it with a better NVME drive. With that said, it's better to buy the higher end ROG Ally (on sale) than buy the high end Steam Deck model.

It is really hard to think of these decks as a good deal when an Xbox is $350.
