Months after AMD Ryzen AI 300 series processors hit the scene in laptops, one manufacturer is now offering glimpses of how these chips will perform in handhelds. In an early showcase of its upcoming OneXFly F1 Pro, OneXPlayer shows its devices should be notably faster than the current champ, Asus’ ROG Ally X, by as much as 24%.
One-Netbook, parent company of OneXPlayer, has a storied history of making AMD handhelds under its belt. However, OneXFly F1 Pro will be the first from the manufacturer to feature AMD Ryzen 9 AI 365 and HX 370 APUs. These chips feature Zen 5 CPU cores and RDNA 3.5 graphics, promising to decisively outperform the Z1 Extreme in ROG Ally X.
In a showdown between the three APUs, the differences couldn’t be any more stark. With each device running Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p, low settings, with 30W of juice, there’s a 22% difference in average frame rates between Ryzen Z1 Extreme and Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. Better still, minimums see a healthy 19% increase too.
The less-powerful Ryzen AI 9 365 saw decent gains too, with minimum and average frame rates 14% and 12% higher, respectively, relative to ROG Ally X. However, its best showing was at 15W, where its APU slams Ryzen Z1 Extreme by 23-24%.
At 20W, these figures drop to 48fps on the Z1 Extreme and 54fps on the AI 365, making it the sweet spot for those who care about playtime length. At 15W both chips clearly lack juice, with the AI 365 barely making it at 43fps, followed by the Z1 Extreme at 35fps.
Black Myth: Wukong saw both Ryzen AI 300 series chips pull ahead by 13-18% in average frame rates, this time at 25W. Frustratingly, OneXPlayer doesn’t provide benchmarks for Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 at lower TDPs, but I imagine it’ll perform similarly if not slightly better than Ryzen AI 9 365.
This extra performance comes at a substantial cost, however. If you fancy yourself a OneXFly F1 Pro, you’ll need to cough up $1,099 for a model with a Ryzen AI 9 365 APU. Meanwhile, the flagship device equipped with Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 will set you back a whopping $1,339. For reference, ROG Ally X is available now for $799.99.
Of course, these are first-party benchmarks, so keep those salt shakers handy. It won’t be long now until the devices get out into the wild, so keep an eye out for in-depth testing as it comes.
