Quirky tech producer Ayaneo has simply launched a teaser for a brand new gadget, which it modestly says is ready to “redefine” the expertise of handheld gaming. In accordance with the teaser video, the brand new Ayaneo 3 is codenamed Revo, which is brief for “revolution.” We’re then given a number of glimpses of the gadget, though we have now to say, none of it appears notably revolutionary in the mean time.
The producer has kind for innovation within the transportable gaming market, although, with the Ayaneo Slide that includes a bodily keyboard beneath the display, for instance, and the Ayaneo AG01 Graphics Starship upgrading your laptop computer to an exterior AMD Radeon GPU, whereas wanting like a retro toy spaceship. Possibly there’s one thing we’re not seeing within the teaser that can assist the brand new Ayaneo gadget take the combat to the Steam Deck within the battle to make the perfect gaming handheld.
In accordance with Ayaneo, the brand new gadget’s Revo codename symbolizes “disruption and innovatioon [sic],” so we have now to hope that it’s extra than simply one other transportable Home windows gaming gadget. In our latest Ayaneo interview, the corporate’s CEO, Arthur Zhang, instructed us that it needed to carry “inspiration and artistic new merchandise to gamers” within the handheld marker.
The corporate definitely is aware of methods to make a robust handheld, as we noticed with the Ayaneo Kun, which options an 8.4-inch 1600p show and a strong eight-core AMD Ryzen 7 7840U APU containing a Radeon 780M GPU. With the brand new AMD Ryzen Z2 Excessive anticipated to characteristic a hefty new RDNA 3.5 GPU with 1,024 stream processors within the close to future, Ayaneo may need a robust handheld ready within the wings.
Even higher, it’d even be utilizing a full APU once more, because it did with the Kun. If it’s based mostly on the rumored new AMD Strix Halo platform, it may probably have a very highly effective GPU with 2,560 stream processors, making its graphics {hardware} probably extra highly effective than the Radeon RX 7600 XT.
That is all simply hypothesis, although. What we do know from the video concerning the Ayaneo 3 is that it has large curved contours on your fingers beneath the controls so you may grip the gadget, and that it has a pair of thumbsticks. Not like the Steam Deck, the latter aren’t positioned symmetrically on both aspect of the display both, however as a substitute have the left stick on the prime, and the correct stick a bit additional down, a bit just like the Nintendo Swap format. The video additionally clearly exhibits shoulder buttons on the highest of the gadget.
In the meantime, Ayaneo’s blurb says that the gadget is designed for all players, together with the “efficiency fanatic, hardcore participant, or informal leisure fanatic,” whereas additionally saying it should meet all “expectations for flagship Home windows handheld gadgets.” That’s all we learn about it to date. It might not look revolutionary within the teaser photos to date, however let’s hope Ayaneo does one thing attention-grabbing with it.
