Leaks Reveal Asus ROG Ally 2 with AMD Z2 Extreme CPU and 64GB RAM — Black Version Includes Dedicated Xbox Button

Sure thing. Here’s a reimagined version of the article:

Alright, so here’s the deal. Microsoft’s been cooking up something with their project—called Kennan or whatever—and it’s finally coming out. Kind of. This thing is part of the ROG Ally 2 series, according to some folks at 91mobiles and this person, Huang514613, who dropped the news on X. Weird how names work, right? Anyway, Asus is supposedly whipping up two versions: a snazzy black one with an Xbox button (hype!) and a chill white one that’s, let’s say, a bit more mainstream.

Kennan’s been in the air for a while, like a distant announcement or a lingering smell. We didn’t have the full picture till now, though. But once some model IDs popped up, boom! They were linked to the US FCC database or something. The differences? Yeah, think how ROG Ally was before: basic unit with AMD Z1 (4 whatevers) and the turbo version Z1 Extreme (12 whatevers) for a bit more cash. Guess Asus loves sticking to x86. Makes me wonder why.

Now, that Xbox button on the black model—it’s basically yelling, “Hey, it’s Project Kennan!” Cool, right? But don’t get too excited; it’s likely still running Windows 11. Can’t dodge the bullet. And that button? Maybe it just opens the Game Bar like on a PC. Curious to see if Microsoft’s sprinkled in some secret sauce…or not.

Okay, okay, here’s the nerdy scoop (can’t help it, tech talk is wild). Supposedly, under the hood, it’s got AMD’s Ryzen Z2 Extreme thing with, wait for it, eight cores (Zen 5 plus some Zen 5c? What does that even mean?) and this pretty snazzy 16 CU iGPU (Radeon 890M, if you’re wondering). And memory? Oh boy, 64GB of LPDDR5x-8533. Fast enough to make your head spin. Oh, and it supports serious storage and 100W charging. Fancy.

And then the white model. It’s got this mysterious new APU from AMD with the code “100-000001835″—spooky, right? It packs 16GB RAM and a 7-inch 120 Hz display, with 65W charging. People say it’s rocking something called Aerith Plus. Sounds like a video game character. This APU thingy, “Ryzen Z2 A,” has four cores and this whole 6W-20W business going on.

More info coming at Computex, I guess. Hold tight for that.

And hey, if you’re into this stuff like I am (because why not?), you can follow Tom’s Hardware on Google News for more bits and pieces. They’ve got this “Follow” button it seems. But again, who knows if you’ll click it or not. Just saying.
