Inside, you will find one of three new processors AMD Ryzen Z2 (the current generation is managed by the Z1 Extreme), the most economical of all with 8 cores, 16 threads and which, according to various sources, will offer performance slightly lower than the Z1 Extreme but more than sufficient to run any type of game.

The other major difference from the original Legion Go is the screen size.
