AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU Debuts in OneXFly F1 Pro Gaming Handheld, Showcasing Impressive Performance

AMD's "Strix Point" Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU Handheld Gets Tested, Achieving 50-60 FPS At Black Myth: Wukong Under 15W TDP

AMD's flagship "Strix Point" Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 has now been tested on One-Netbook's newest ONEXFLY F1 Pro handheld, revealing impressive performance for a compact device. AMD's "Ryzen AI 300" series has seen decent adoption from the laptop segment, given its impressive performance capabilities and AI computational power; however, in terms of the handheld market, the integration of Strix Point APUs has been a slowed one, especially with the flagship Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, since One-Netbook is one of the first firms to feature the APU in their handheld device. We recently reported on the ONEXFLY F1 Pro handheld, which is indeed an impressive product, given its performance capabilities, and now, the firm has pushed out initial benchmarks, showing how AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU manages to perform when utilized on a compact device. For those unaware, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 features 12 cores, 24 threads, 24 MB of L3 cache, & a boost clock of up to 5.1 GHz. The chip packs the Radeon 890M GPU based on the RDNA 3.5 graphics architecture to deliver more robust performance than previous generations. The newest gameplay video of the ONEXFLY F1 Pro shows that the device achieves around 50-60 FPS on Black Myth: Wukong, under 1080p and with low graphic configuration. This is an impressive performance threshold, given that the APU was being run at 15W TDP. Interestingly, the manufacturer mentioned that the unit being tested is currently an engineering sample, so it is highly likely that we haven't seen the full performance being squeezed out of the onboard APU. For a quick rundown on the specifications of ONEXFLY F1 Pro, it comes with a 7-inch 1080p OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate. The manufacturer has filled in a massive gap in the handheld segment due to the non-existence of OLED handhelds, apart from solutions by the likes of ZOTAC. We are unaware of memory/storage configurations for now, and nor has the manufacturer revealed pricing and release dates yet, as the device is currently in the sampling stages.

Ryzen AI HX 370 hits impressive 58 FPS benchmark

The OneXFly F1 Pro has made its debut, marking the arrival of the first gaming handheld powered by AMD's Ryzen AI HX 370 APU. While AMD's Strix Point chips, introduced in August, have been largely limited to laptops, OneXFly is the first device to incorporate this latest technology into a gaming handheld. AMD has typically prioritized laptop manufacturers for the initial rollout, which has left handheld devices like the OneXFly to appear later. The F1 Pro sports a traditional design featuring a 7-inch OLED screen with a 144Hz refresh rate, integrated with two controllers on either side. This setup aims to deliver the handheld gaming experience many enthusiasts have been looking for, making the F1 Pro an interesting competitor in the handheld gaming space. At its core, the OneXFly F1 Pro is equipped with AMD's Ryzen AI HX 370, which features 12 cores -- four Zen 5 and eight Zen 5c -- providing a total of 24 threads. The Zen 5 cores can reach a maximum boost clock of 5.1GHz, while the Zen 5c cores top out at 3.3GHz. The default thermal design power (TDP) for the APU is rated at 28 watts, but it can be configured between 15W and 54W for optimal power and performance balance. The graphics capabilities are powered by AMD's Radeon 890M, further enhancing its gaming prowess. The handheld was recently showcased in a short gameplay video posted by One-Netbook, the device manufacturer, where it was seen running Black Myth: Wukong. In the benchmark, the OneXFly F1 Pro achieved an average of 58 frames per second (fps) at a TDP of 15W. This is an impressive result for a gaming handheld, especially considering that it maintains a decent level of performance while operating at relatively low power. While achieving near-60 fps at a lower power setting is notable, it does come with some compromises. The benchmark for Black Myth: Wukong was run at 1920×1080 resolution with settings on low and a 65% resolution scale, effectively bringing it closer to 700p. Additionally, AMD's FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution) was enabled, which contributed to maintaining smooth gameplay. At times, the frame rate dipped to around 40 fps, but for the most part, it stayed steady at an impressive 58 fps. Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 under scope: ASUS Zenbook S16 gets its treat For those looking to push performance further, it is presumed that increasing the TDP would result in higher fps, though this would come at the cost of battery life. As it stands, the OneXFly F1 Pro shows promising performance for AAA titles, albeit with some concessions in resolution and graphic quality.The launch of the OneXFly F1 Pro represents a milestone for AMD's Strix Point chips in the handheld gaming market. Up until now, these chips were primarily found in mini PCs and non-gaming devices like the GPD clamshell system. With OneXFly, AMD's latest technology finally makes its way into the handheld gaming scene, potentially opening up new possibilities for mobile gaming enthusiasts. The F1 Pro is expected to be listed on the company's website soon, though specific pricing and release dates have yet to be announced. In the meantime, One-Netbook plans to release more gameplay videos to showcase the device's capabilities. With AMD expected to announce its next-generation Z2 Extreme chip during CES 2025, it's clear that the gaming handheld market is continuing to grow and innovate. Until more details about the pricing and availability of the OneXFly F1 Pro emerge, the excitement lies in seeing how well it will perform in the real world, outside of benchmark videos. The combination of AMD's latest APU, a high-refresh OLED display, and a thoughtful handheld design has the potential to shake up the portable gaming market.

AMD-powered OLED handheld aims to rival the Steam Deck OLED -- Ryzen 9 AI HX 370 runs Black Myth: Wukong at 50-60 FPS with 1080p low settings

Handheld maker OneXPlayer uploaded a teaser video of its next gaming device, the Onexfly F1 Pro, on YouTube. It features AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, part of the Ryzen AI 300 (codenamed Strix Point) family. The new device, dubbed the Onexfly F1 Pro, is a 7-inch handheld that was shown running Black Myth: Wukong at between 50 and 60 FPS. The new device purportedly features a bleeding-edge HDR-supported 7-inch OLED display with a refresh rate of 144 Hz. It weighs 598 grams and has Harman Kardon speakers. The main selling point is the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 CPU, which features four Zen 5 cores, eight Zen 5c cores, and AMD's latest Radeon 890M iGPU with 16 CUs based on the RDAN 3.5 architecture. With such robust specifications, the OneXFly F1 Pro can compete against rivals like the Steam Deck OLED, ROG Ally X, or Lenovo Legion Go. OneXPlayer showcased the device running the Black Myth: Wukong benchmark at 1080p at low-quality settings with 65% upscaling (1248 x 702 effective internal rendering resolution). The AI 9 HX 370-equipped handheld generated an average of 58 FPS at these settings. Power consumption was limited to 15W for this test. The Onexfly F1 Pro will be OneXPlayer's first device to sport both an OLED display and AMD's latest Zen 5-based mobile CPUs; all its current devices sport previous-gen Intel or AMD CPUs along with non-OLED-based displays. It will also be one of the first Zen 5-powered handhelds to hit the market, with the GPT Pocket 4 being the only other apparent device advertised with the Ryzen AI HX 370. Compared to the Pocket 4, the F1 Pro is a true handheld with traditional grips and controls, while the Pocket 4 is a hybrid 2-in-1 device with a keyboard and a screen that flips 180 degrees. OneXPlayer's benchmark teaser demonstrates that the AI 9 HX 370 is ideally suited to handheld devices and can play the most demanding AAA titles even at a mid-range 15W TDP to extend battery life. Since AMD has yet to launch its next-generation handheld-focused Z-series CPUs, handheld makers are now stuck using AMD's laptop-focused Ryzen AI 300 series CPUs.

AMD's top Ryzen AI mobile chip featuring Zen 5 and a juiced GPU is headed to a handheld gaming PC next month

OneXPlayer, also known as One-Netbook, has announced a new handheld, the OneXFly F1 Pro. It comes with a new 7-inch OLED display, 144 Hz refresh rate, and RGB-laden exterior. What's more exciting, however, is the chip powering it. That would be AMD's latest mobile processor, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. We don't have all the details yet but the new OneXFly F1 Pro was announced over on the One-Netbook YouTube channel. In it, the handheld is noted with a higher-than-usual refresh rate of 144 Hz, which might just about be do-able with the HX 370's 890M GPU in the least demanding games, alongside an OLED panel. OneXPlayer notes the screen's "wide color gamut", "stunning brightness", and "vibrant colors" in the video, all of which sound very promising. Though you could say the same thing of just about any OLED screen. It also notes a narrow bezel around all edges of the screen, though it's notably slimmer-looking on the top and bottom. The joysticks are reportedly drift-free, presumably because they're using Hall effect sensors. That's not specifically mentioned, though OneXPlayer's other recent designs all use the Hall effect, including the ludicrously large OneXPlayer X1 we've reviewed recently. Here's hoping the F1 Pro isn't such a damp squib. We've had really good experiences with the previous OneXFly model, even awarding it 87% in our review. The main event is the choice of chip. OneXPlayer shows three different AMD chipsets in the teaser video, alluding to a few different options: the Ryzen 7 8840U, Ryzen AI 9 365, and Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. The Ryzen 7 8840U isn't new -- the Ayaneo Flip DS I recently reviewed uses this chip. It's a good processor, though it's practically identical to the 7840U, which is, in turn, practically identical to the Z1 Extreme. They all feature the same GPU, the Radeon 780M. That means you're looking at near-enough the same performance and power demands as most existing handheld gaming PCs on the market with this option. The Ryzen AI 9 365 is an interesting chip. It's brand new and offers a powerful CPU component with four Zen 5 cores and six Zen 5c cores (essentially 'lite' versions of the full Zen 5 core). Alongside that, the Radeon 880M GPU. With only 12 Compute Units (CUs), this GPU isn't the best of the best. That said, it is built with the most up-to-date RDNA 3.5 architecture tailored to low-power environments. That might come in handy on a handheld. The star of the show is the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. This is the chip I had my hands on back in July and at the time suggested it would make a wicked processor inside a handheld gaming PC. It comes with four Zen 5 cores and eight Zen 5c cores. Importantly, it also comes with the Radeon 890M GPU. This offers 16 RDNA 3.5 CUs, which even at its worst in my testing was around 20% faster than the 780M it replaces. Performance won't be an exact match to that which I reported from the Asus Zephyrus G16, though to give you an idea of the performance leap between the 780M and 890M, here are some of my benchmark results. One commonly requested feature from comments across YouTube and Discord, and something we know nothing about just yet, is whether the device will come with a battery to match the ROG Ally X (80 Whr) or opt for something smaller. The exact battery life will depend on how well the HX 370 can adjust to the constraints of a compact handheld, though an 80 Whr battery wouldn't go amiss. If the Ally X could do it in a pretty compact shell, I'm pretty sure we'll see others following suit. With a little tuning for a restrictive handheld PC chassis, the HX 370 should work a treat for a new generation of handheld gaming PCs. The OneXFly F1 Pro should be one of the first of those made widely available to purchase and the first vying for a spot in our best handheld gaming PC guide. The official announcement for the device notes it's "coming soon", though I have it on pretty good authority that it'll be out sometime in November. There's been no word on pricing yet, though I would expect the HX 370 model to come with a pretty hefty premium. Did someone say $1,000+?
