AMD-Powered OLED Handheld Competes with Steam Deck OLED — Ryzen 9 AI HX 370 Achieves 50-60 FPS on Black Myth: Wukong at 1080p Low Settings

OneXPlayer has stirred up anticipation with a sneak peek at its forthcoming handheld gaming marvel, the Onexfly F1 Pro, via a teaser clip on YouTube. This intriguing device boasts AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, a notable addition to the cutting-edge Ryzen AI 300 series, known by its Strix Point code name. The Onexfly F1 Pro sports a 7-inch display, showcasing its prowess by running “Black Myth: Wukong” at frame rates varying between 50 and 60 FPS.

What sets this new contender apart is its state-of-the-art 7-inch OLED display, which supports HDR and runs at an impressive refresh rate of 144 Hz. Weighing in at 598 grams, this sleek handheld also features high-quality Harman Kardon speakers. At the heart of this powerhouse is the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 CPU, which packs quite a punch with its four Zen 5 cores and eight Zen 5c cores. Coupled with AMD’s latest Radeon 890M integrated GPU, featuring 16 CUs on the RDNA 3.5 architecture, the OneXFly F1 Pro is ready to take on the likes of the Steam Deck OLED, ROG Ally X, and Lenovo Legion Go.

In the showcase, OneXPlayer demonstrated the Onexfly F1 Pro running “Black Myth: Wukong” at 1080p resolution under low-quality settings with a precise 65% upscaling, translating to an effective internal rendering resolution of 1248 x 702. Even with a power consumption cap at 15W, this handheld delivered an average of 58 FPS.

The Onexfly F1 Pro stands out as OneXPlayer’s debut device to feature both an OLED screen and the latest Zen 5-based mobile CPUs from AMD. Previously, the company’s devices relied on older Intel or AMD processors paired with non-OLED displays. As one of the pioneers in the Zen 5-powered handheld arena, its principal competitor is the GPT Pocket 4, which also flaunts the Ryzen AI HX 370.

While the Pocket 4 offers versatility as a 2-in-1 device equipped with a keyboard and 180-degree flip screen, the F1 Pro sticks to the handheld genre with its ergonomic grips and traditional controls. The benchmark tests from OneXPlayer clearly demonstrate that the AI 9 HX 370 is a stellar match for handheld devices, providing the capability to handle AAA gaming titles with ease, even at a mid-range 15W TDP to maximize battery life.

The industry awaits AMD’s next-gen handheld-centric Z-series CPUs. Until then, gaming device manufacturers, including OneXPlayer, are harnessing the laptop-focused Ryzen AI 300 series processors to push the boundaries of portable gaming.
