Methinks the AI bandwagon is getting crowded these days. It must be nearing crush load.

Good to see them branching out, though.

Curious as to the hardware in this handheld seeing as Zotac has zero relationship with AMD and that MSI/Intel handheld is a bad product.

It's AMD's Ryzen Z-Series.
As Zotac announced in the German press release at midday, the Zotac Gaming Zone will be based on an "AMD Ryzen APU". It is likely that this will be the same Ryzen Z1 Extreme that has already proven itself in various other handhelds. Further details will follow at the trade fair.
