Funny enough atleast i took the Intel Core 7 handheld Msi claw a8..the Intel platforms itself was mostly remained supported for 7 to 10 years.... meanwhile AMD Z custom low power chip get very few attention from AMD itself..it should be a warning for people to avoid Ryzen Z series if they want to use the Handeld pc for longer years

I'll wait for an official announcement, rumors are just that, until they are true. I doubt this is true.

So glad I never upgraded to a Ally X or even an Xbox Ally X then. Not worth it. The aliy x came out way after the Ally as well. Useless

So does this mean it's useless now?

My Rog Ally has been in its box for 6 months anyway that thing is a stuttering mess. Really hated using the thing. I did like it till I realized it was so bad. I ended up getting a modded switch OLED and putting a 1080p OLED screen upgrade in my steam deck LCD and just use those and the switch 2 now.

Just remember, this is on AMD, this time it isn't Asus's fault, they don't write the chip drivers.

Honestly, it's almost a relief knowing we won't have to rely on the manufacturers forever. If anything, this situation is a massive win for Linux gaming distributions. Once the necessary drivers, device trees, and patches are successfully upstreamed and merged into the mainline Linux kernel, they are maintained indefinitely by the community. It completely removes the anxiety of hardware expiration, ensuring these handhelds are freed from corporate update cycles and will keep running smoothly long after official support is abandoned.

If true, this indicates a much shorter supported lifespan than we would normally see in a gaming laptop or desktop.

If this trend were to continue, then it would likely affect the viability of the handheld gaming PC market.  No one wants to buy a handheld console or a handheld PC device that lacks driver updates and support after only three years.

AMD, Asus, and Lenovo may stop supporting Ryzen Z1 Extreme powered gaming handhelds as far as driver updates are concerned. These devices are not very old so its unfortunate that support is being dropped so early in the life cycle.
