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

OneXPlayer recently stirred excitement in the gaming world by releasing a teaser video on YouTube for its upcoming handheld gaming device, the Onexfly F1 Pro. This new gadget boasts AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, part of the cutting-edge Ryzen AI 300 family, also known as Strix Point. Highlighted in the video, the Onexfly F1 Pro confidently runs “Black Myth: Wukong” at an impressive frame rate of 50 to 60 FPS, showcasing its power and potential.

The device packs a punch with a stunning 7-inch OLED display featuring HDR support and a 144 Hz refresh rate, wrapped up in a lightweight chassis tipping the scales at just 598 grams. Completing the audio-visual experience are the Harman Kardon speakers, promising superior sound quality. At its core, the F1 Pro is powered by the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 CPU, which includes four Zen 5 cores, eight Zen 5c cores, and AMD’s sophisticated Radeon 890M integrated GPU leveraging the RDNA 3.5 architecture. Such a formidable lineup of specifications positions the OnexFly F1 Pro as a serious contender against competitors like the Steam Deck OLED, ROG Ally X, and Lenovo Legion Go.

In showcasing its capabilities, OneXPlayer demonstrated the F1 Pro running “Black Myth: Wukong” at 1080p resolution, albeit on low quality settings with 65% upscaling (resulting in an effective internal resolution of 1248 x 702). Despite these settings, the device managed an average of 58 FPS. Remarkably, this performance was achieved while maintaining power consumption at a modest 15W.

Slated to be a game-changer for OneXPlayer, the Onexfly F1 Pro will be the company’s first device to feature both an OLED display and AMD’s latest Zen 5-based mobile CPUs. Until now, their devices have been stocked with previous-gen Intel or AMD CPUs and lacked OLED technology. This release is particularly noteworthy because the Onexfly F1 Pro will be among the first handhelds powered by Zen 5, marketing alongside the GPT Pocket 4, which also boasts the Ryzen AI HX 370.

When placed side by side with the Pocket 4, the distinction is clear—the F1 Pro fits the mold of a traditional handheld with its ergonomic grips and controls. In contrast, the Pocket 4 serves as a hybrid 2-in-1 device, complete with a keyboard and a flexible screen.

The benchmark sneak peek provided by OneXPlayer underscores the AI 9 HX 370’s excellence for handheld gaming, proving it can handle even the most resource-demanding AAA games while keeping energy consumption low to extend battery life. As AMD is still in the process of releasing its next-gen Z-series CPUs tailored specifically for handheld devices, for now, developers continue to turn to the laptop-centric Ryzen AI 300 series.

Whether you’re a tech enthusiast tracking the latest developments or a gamer eager to explore new equipment, the anticipation building around the Onexfly F1 Pro hints at its potential to redefine mobile gaming experiences.
