we cover leakage AMD’s upcoming Ryzen Z2 APU series was introduced in detail not long ago. This list contains specific budget-oriented products based on Rembrandt-R: Ryzen Z2G or Z2 Go. Today, the famous leaker Golden Pig upgrade package, with a proven track record (via Orlac In X), claims the Z2 Go will be an upcoming exclusive from Lenovo Legion Go S handheld device and mention its specifications.
In 2023, AMD’s Z1 series took the handheld device market by storm. These APUs have been renamed Phoenix chips Zen 4 and RDNA 3 and are suitable for a variety of devices.

Rumor has it that the Z2 and Z2E are powered by Hawk Point and Strix Point chips respectively, while the Z2G is based on Rembrandt-R (Ryzen 7035 APU), which should appear in cost-effective handheld devices.
The leaker claims that Z2G stands for Z2 Go, and we know that Z2G is unfortunately exclusive to Lenovo’s upcoming Legion Go S handheld device. In addition, Z2G uses a quad-core CPU layout based on Zen 3+ and a 12-computing unit iGPU (integrated GPU) developed using the RDNA 2 architecture.
After looking through AMD’s Rembrandt and Rembrandt-R series, the Z2G has no direct equivalent. Still, such a setup should give the Z2G 8MB of L3 cache and 2MB of L2 cache, which isn’t exciting, but keep in mind that the Z2G is designed to be a cheap option for affordable handheld devices. In terms of memory, it supports LPDDR5X-6400 memory, and the Lenovo Legion Go S should also have the same speed.
