    OneXFly F1 Pro 10W TDP: Play Red Dead Redemption 80+ FPS

    The OneXFly F1 Pro is a groundbreaking gaming handheld that features the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, making it capable of running nearly any AAA game you can think of. It also includes the Radeon 890M integrated GPU, which allows it to perform exceptionally well. Recently, the company revealed how the F1 Pro can run Red Dead Redemption while maintaining a low thermal design power (TDP).

    Impressive Performance in Gaming

    In a recent teaser video, One-Netbook showcased the OneXFly F1 Pro achieving over 80 frames per second in Red Dead Redemption at a mere 10W TDP. The game was played at a 1080p resolution, and although the graphics were set to low, it’s quite remarkable to see the Radeon 890M delivering such strong performance at such a low power consumption level.

    Benchmark Scores Reveal Potential

    Additionally, One-Netbook highlighted the performance of the Ryzen AI 365 version of the gaming handheld. According to the 3DMark Time Spy benchmark, the Radeon 880M in the OneXFly F1 Pro scored 2,084 at 10W, 2,967 at 15W, and 3,346 at 25W. For context, the score of 3,346 at 25W surpasses the performance of the Asus ROG Ally X, which scored lower at 30W in our tests. This indicates that even the more affordable version of the OneXFly F1 Pro outperforms many last-gen handhelds.

    Pricing and Future Expectations

    However, the OneXFly F1 Pro comes with a higher price tag compared to older models. With the current pre-order discount, the starting price is set at $1,099. This price point is somewhat expected, especially since even the Strix Point mini PCs are more expensive than their Hawk Point counterparts. Looking ahead, there’s hope that the next generation of gaming handhelds featuring the Ryzen Z2 series may lower prices somewhat (for instance, the Legion Go with Z1 Extreme is currently priced at $659.99 on Amazon).

  • AMD Ryzen AI 300 Strix Point CPUs Receive RAM Speed Boost

    AMD Ryzen AI 300 Strix Point CPUs Receive RAM Speed Boost

    AMD’s Strix Point laptops have been available for some time now. The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 chip has also begun to appear in portable gaming consoles. Yet, those who were among the first to use AMD’s Zen 5 laptop chips might find themselves at a disadvantage. This is because the company has quietly made improvements to all future Strix Point models.

    Memory Upgrades

    A leaker known as @AnhPhuH recently noticed these changes on AMD’s website. The Ryzen AI chips now come with support for LPDDR5X-8000 memory, which is 500 MT/s faster than the LPDDR5-7500 memory seen in the original versions. For those using non-soldered options, the speed remains unchanged at DDR5-5600. However, the new platform limits support to just two DIMMs operating at DDR5-5600, instead of the previous four. The maximum memory capacity for Strix Point stays the same at 256 GB.

    Performance Implications

    This slight enhancement in memory speed should theoretically lead to an increase in GPU performance as well. Other Strix Point models, like the Ryzen Z2 Extreme set to launch in 2025, are also expected to gain from the quicker RAM. However, it appears that it will not feature the RDNA 3.5-based Radeon 890M. At this moment, it’s unclear when these upgrades will take effect, but the updates on AMD’s official site imply they may have already rolled out.
