The AYANEO Subsequent was introduced at CES 2023, although it will not characteristic the rumored Ryzen 6000U APU. The easy cause was defined by CEO Arthur Zhang in a letter to customers.
I do know a lot of you expect the AYANEO NEXT to be powered by an AMD 6000 collection APU, however I could must disabuse a few of you of that notion earlier than the launch.
My definition of NEXT is that I need it to be obtainable to players as quickly as attainable, with out having to attend greater than six months. AMD’s 6000 collection APUs shall be launched quickly and, not surprisingly, availability might take till the top of the 12 months. It is not our intention to launch the NEXT after which make individuals wait till the top of the 12 months to get their fingers on the gadget, so the APU within the NEXT isn’t a 6000 collection APU, however it’s nonetheless the primary APU on a Home windows handheld that can convey a variety of energy to our gaming expertise.
The dearth of availability early within the 12 months compelled the corporate to make use of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800U as a substitute for the AYANEO Subsequent. Nonetheless, this new version of the hand held console does include a number of new options. For instance, it’s stated to be the primary console to make use of corridor impact sensors on each joysticks and triggers. The magnetism ought to enable for extra correct and sturdy controllers whereas serving to clear up the drift concern. The joysticks are additionally replaceable, identical to in high-end sport controllers.
The left and proper grips are additionally reportedly geared up with twin X-axis linear motors, which might present totally different instructions and totally different strengths of vibration in response to the sport scene.
The AYANEO Subsequent additionally options the most recent applied sciences for wi-fi connectivity. It’s the first to make use of the brand new AMD Wi-Fi 6E resolution “RZ608”, which brings a model new 6GHz frequency band with a most theoretical charge of as much as 3.6 Gbps. In contrast with Wi-Fi 6, it has elevated by 1200 Mbps, and has stronger wi-fi transmission capabilities and decrease Delay. Bluetooth 5.2 additionally helps a sooner, extra steady, and bigger vary of wi-fi connection expertise.
There’s additionally a biometric authentication characteristic, because of the fingerprint unlock module added to the ability button.
The official web site offers some early benchmarks made within the laboratory, too. The Witcher 3 can run at 27 frames per second on Excessive settings or 41 frames per second on Medium settings, whereas Cyberpunk 2077 ranges from 23.1 FPS (Excessive) to 38.2 FPS (Low). Forza Horizon 5 appears to fare higher, delivering 42.3 FPS on Excessive settings or 67.1 FPS on Medium settings.
