AMD OLED Handheld Challenges Steam Deck OLED: Ryzen 9 AI HX 370 Delivers 50-60 FPS in Black Myth: Wukong at 1080p Low Settings

OneXPlayer recently dropped an enticing teaser video on YouTube, giving us a sneak peek at their upcoming handheld gaming device, the Onexfly F1 Pro. This sleek 7-inch gadget is powered by AMD’s cutting-edge Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, which is a standout from the Ryzen AI 300 series, also known as Strix Point. The clip showcased the device in action, smoothly running the much-anticipated game, Black Myth: Wukong, with frame rates hovering between 50 and 60 FPS.

What makes the Onexfly F1 Pro truly exciting is its vibrant 7-inch OLED display. Not only does it support HDR, but it also boasts a refresh rate of 144 Hz, promising an immersive visual experience. It tips the scales at 598 grams and is enhanced with Harman Kardon speakers for superior audio quality. The star of the show is undoubtedly the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, which packs four Zen 5 cores, eight Zen 5c cores, and AMD’s latest Radeon 890M iGPU. These specs bring the device into competitive territory, squarely challenging the likes of the Steam Deck OLED, ROG Ally X, and Lenovo Legion Go.

In a demonstration that piqued interest, OneXPlayer ran a benchmark of Black Myth: Wukong on the device. It managed a solid 58 FPS at 1080p on low settings, with a 65% upscale resulting in an effective resolution of 1248 x 702. The test confined the power consumption to just 15W, showcasing the device’s efficiency.

This Onexfly F1 Pro is a milestone for OneXPlayer, marking the first time they’ve integrated an OLED display with AMD’s state-of-the-art Zen 5 mobile CPUs. It’s set to be among the pioneer Zen 5-powered handhelds available, joining the ranks of the GPT Pocket 4, another device equipped with the Ryzen AI HX 370.

Unlike the Pocket 4, which serves as a versatile 2-in-1 with a keyboard and a 180-degree flip screen, the F1 Pro is a true handheld, complete with ergonomic grips and familiar controls. The teaser paints a promising picture of the AI 9 HX 370’s potential, enabling the device to handle demanding AAA games efficiently even with a modest 15W TDP, paving the way for extended gaming marathons without quickly draining the battery. As AMD’s next-gen handheld-focused Z-series CPUs have yet to make their debut, manufacturers like OneXPlayer are capitalizing on the Ryzen AI 300 series to stay ahead in the game.
