That's according to reports from Dave2D, who also talks of it housing a Zen 4 CPU and an RDNA 3 GPU behind that 1080p screen.
By way of comparison, the Deck's Aerith APU sports Zen 2 and RDNA 2 hardware in its 7nm semi-custom APU. In order to hit the 120Hz refresh rate of the Ally's 7-inch panel, some serious handheld power is going to be needed, however it turns out.
1080p, Windows out of the box and not that gay Steam OS, more power everything.
Glad I didn't buy a Deck. I was very close to it during the holidays when they gave it a discount.
The name Ally is cool too. You buy two of these and you have two allies for Star Citizen. It should run the game reasonably well for capital ship and resupply/medivac roles, and when the game gets optimized it should run it well, period.
120 Hz for such a small screen is a stupid waste of resources though and should be just turned off.
