Lenovo accidentally suggests that the Legion Go S console could be launched soon

Lenovo Legion Go (Review) was launched in the global market last year and the Chinese company could soon launch a new portable gaming console. The company accidentally published a reference to a new console on its website, and the company’s support website also listed a BIOS firmware for an unreleased model. The alleged Lenovo device could be equipped with an octa-core AMD Rembrandt APU. It is expected to launch as a more affordable version of the Legion Go portable gaming console.

Thanks to the listing on the company’s website, we know that the rumored Legion Go S device will be equipped with an AMD Rembrandt APU, with Zen 3+ CPU cores and a Zen 2 APU. The company removed the listing for the so-called Legion Go S model after the report was published.

Meanwhile, a document Titled ‘Regulatory Notice for Wireless LAN/WAN modules’, hosted on the company’s website, lists for the same Legion Go S 8ARP1 model and reveals that it will support Wi-Fi 6E connectivity.

Lenovo before dropping hints that it would launch new devices powered by Ryzen Z2 series APUs, and these systems would carry the model numbers 8AHP2 and 8ASP2 – indicating the presence of AMD’s Ryzen Z2 Hawk Point and Strix Point APUs, respectively.

It’s worth noting that these handheld-focused APUs have yet to be launched by AMD, so gaming enthusiasts will have to wait for these processors to launch before Lenovo can launch these devices. We can speculate that the Lenovo Legion Go S could debut with a lower price tag than the first-generation Legion Go model, as a second-generation Legion Go model (8ASP2) is also expected to make its debut.
