QuestionWhat does the AI chip part even does? They release zero things about it then saying it’s powerful but in what way.
Asked 4 months ago by Anonymous.
- Answer The Xbox Ally X so far is the only device with the AI Z2 Extreme processor. All the other Z2E devices ship without the AI NPU processor. With the NPU, AI processing doesn't need to be done on the GPU and is instead handled with the NPU. so one of the upcoming features for the NPU is Automatic Super Resolution (ASR). ASR means the GPU will be rendering the game at 720p, for example, and the NPU will upscale it at 1440p for example. It'll look really clear and because the GPU only needs to render at 720p, there will be higher frame rates and sharper images. Digital Foundry has tested early versions of ASR and said it looks very promising with low latency issues. Other devices that are regular Z2 Extreme will never get the NPU features like ASR.

QuestionIf I pre ordered during the first batch but changed from delivery to pick up after the first batch is sold out, does that mean I have to wait for second batch or is the pre order linked to the batch it was purchased on??
Asked 3 months ago by Anonymous.
- Answer You have to wait for the second batch, unfortunately. I am unable to pick my preorder up at my store on release day, so I changed my order from pick up to shipping and now it won’t be here until mid-December. I did not even think about the orders being fulfilled in different places based on delivery preference.

QuestionIf I have physical version of a game installed in my xbox, can I play it on the Xbox Rog Ally X or do have to buy the digital version?
Asked 3 months ago by Alyz003.
- Answer If you mean by via disc then you’ll be able to use remote play which will require a stable internet connection by remotely connecting to your Xbox, otherwise any digital games that are “Xbox Play Anywhere” titles can be directly installed to the device if owned or via game pass ultimate
