New details of smach z, the portable console based on amd ryzen

SMACH Z is a new portable console that will allow us to enjoy PC games on a portable device, finally we already have its official specifications so we already know what we can expect from this new product.

SMACH Z Specifications

The hardware demands of modern gaming have forced SMACH Z developers to use one of AMD's new Embedded Ryzen processors, bringing Ryzen and Vega Graphics CPU cores to a portable device. The basic SMACH Z model will offer 4GB of 2133MHz DDR4 memory for an official price of $ 699, it has not been specified whether this unit will offer single or dual channel memory. This basic version will also come with just enough storage with just 64 GB of internal memory, which will force the use of memory cards to expand its capacity.

The most advanced model of the console will come with looser 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, although the latter is still very scarce when we consider the weight of today's games. Here we have the main drawback of flash storage, since it is much more expensive than mechanical disks, so the devices that mount it cannot include large quantities without the price skyrocketing.

Looking at the SMACH Z PCB, we can see that there are two DDR4 memory slots, which offer users to upgrade this component. What appears to be an M.2 SSD SSD is also used, so the internal storage of the device would also be upgradeable.

Regarding the performance of the device, the following data has been given:

• The Witcher 3 (medium 720p settings) ~ 40 FPS Alien: Isolation (low 1080p settings) ~ 50 FPSGTA 5 (720p normal settings) ~ 60 FPS League of Legends (high 1080p settings) ~ 60 FPSRocket League (1080p normal settings) ~ 60 FPSDark Souls 3 (low 720p setting) ~ 40 FPS
