Reviews for the AMD RDNA 3.5 Radeon 8060S iGPU are showing impressive performance, surpassing mid-range discreet graphics offerings. AMD's Strix Halo APUs, aka Ryzen AI Max, is poised to take on team Green, and Blue while still trading blows with Apple.

See full article...
 
Runs 1080p low/medium on battery/silent mode (35w-45w)

A single CPU core can max out at 20+watts.
There are 16 such cores
Then 40 CU GPU
It appears that this APU can consume upto 450w if you have a way to feed it & cool it

At the same time it can scale down to 15w & go toe-to-toe with strix point in handhelds

Starting from 20+watts it pulls ahead of other APUs
10w-20w doesn't scale well properly tho in current design

This APU paired with 128gb RAM would be very much useful for AI workloads
 
I'm just waiting.. we are not far from AMD going the full SOC route. Especially for things like handhelds and laptops.

Once they have a solid SOC then their devices can get thinner, lighter, and faster. Throw in some enhanced cooling and we can have some AMD devices similar to a mac mini that trade blows with the current apple CPU, AND can be a gaming console as well.

But... investors are going to make sure that AMD pillages TF out of it's customer base and ends up ruining a great comeback story by becoming the evil they defeated.
 
When I looked up the product page it did list this APU as mobile/desktop and I too instantly thought how cool it would be to have in some kind of desktop.
 
Your dream handheld is here (probably costs 10x as much as a steam deck LCD on sale)

More powerful than the base PS5, i reckon. Also you might get some form of FSR 4 support in future

optimal operating range is 25watts to 55watts for the strix halo.
Within this range you get linear scaling of performance with power.
At 55w you should be able to get 2 hours of gaming on the bundled battery

Only question what is the max practical resolution for a 9" OLED screen. Is this resolution too much for this screen ?

The Ayaneo Next II is a hulking gaming handheld with a 9-inch display​

We should expect an equally hefty price tag to go along with the premium handheld.​

Ayaneo equipped the Next II with Hall effect joysticks and triggers to prevent deadzones and stick drift.
Borrowing from its previous high-end handheld called the Ayaneo Kun, the Next II also features dual smart touchpads that can be customized with gesture controls and key mapping.
The back of the handheld is home to four extra buttons, but you can also set specific controls for four other customizable buttons.

I've never been into the hand held gaming thing. Brought my wife's OLED Nintendo switch with me on a business trip. Played it a few hours... over all it was nice to have but I wouldn't want it as a primary device.

Stuff like this tries to be all things... that isn't for me yet. At least not in that form factor.
 
Not sure why Valve didn't go in the Switch direction, they'd make something like the Aya Next (Deck 2) with a dock for TVs instead of the GabeCube.

Cost on Strix Halo must be through the roof I guess.
 
I've actually wondered the same thing. I guess one perspective is they're really trying to offer a cheaper handheld compared to the whole kit n kaboodle of the switch or premium like the claw, rog, or ayneo's and then let the gabecube be the home upgrade.

Personally, I'd prefer a Halo Strix top of the line w/ dock that would basically do it all, but they probably can't do that at a low price point for families to see it as a real option.
 
They aren't making product to rule the hardware market. They are making product to prove a market and have more people buying steam games and paying them their 30% per title.

This sums up my experience with Steam Deck - it's nice to have when the wife ropes me into watching dumb TV shows, but yeah, really glad it isn't my primary device. It's mostly nice because it's purpose built - what it does, it does very well, and it doesn't pretend to be a 4K gaming machine or anything. It purrs right along at 1280x800, and if that doesn't work for you... then too bad.
