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

Recently, OneXPlayer piqued the curiosity of gaming enthusiasts by teasing their upcoming handheld device, the Onexfly F1 Pro, on YouTube. This new device is set to feature AMD’s cutting-edge Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 chip from the Ryzen AI 300 series, also known by its code name, Strix Point. The Onexfly F1 Pro is a compact 7-inch handheld that impressively showcases the game Black Myth: Wukong, maintaining a smooth frame rate between 50 and 60 FPS.

The device boasts an advanced 7-inch OLED display with HDR support and an impressive 144 Hz refresh rate. It tips the scales at just 598 grams and comes equipped with top-notch Harman Kardon speakers. Its standout feature is undeniably the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 CPU, which packs a punch with four Zen 5 cores, eight Zen 5c cores, and AMD’s latest Radeon 890M iGPU, powered by the RDAN 3.5 architecture. With these formidable specs, the OneXFly F1 Pro squares off against competitors like the Steam Deck OLED, ROG Ally X, and Lenovo Legion Go.

In its demonstration, OneXPlayer highlighted the device’s performance by showcasing the Black Myth: Wukong benchmark. The test was conducted at 1080p using low-quality settings and 65% upscaling, resulting in an effective internal rendering resolution of 1248 x 702 pixels. Under these settings, the handheld, powered by the AI 9 HX 370, maintained an average frame rate of 58 FPS while restricting power consumption to just 15W.

What makes the Onexfly F1 Pro noteworthy is that it’s the first OneXPlayer device to merge an OLED display with AMD’s latest Zen 5-based mobile CPUs. Until now, their devices have utilized previous-generation Intel or AMD processors and lacked OLED screens. As it stands, the F1 Pro is among the first handhelds driven by Zen 5 tech, with the GPT Pocket 4 being the only other device currently marketed with the Ryzen AI HX 370.

When you compare it to the Pocket 4, the F1 Pro is unmistakably a traditional handheld, complete with ergonomic grips and classic controls. In contrast, the Pocket 4 operates as a hybrid 2-in-1 device, featuring a keyboard and a flexible display that flips 180 degrees.

OneXPlayer’s enticing benchmark teaser demonstrates the AI 9 HX 370’s suitability for handheld gaming, showing that it can handle demanding AAA games while maintaining a moderate 15W TDP for extended battery life. With AMD yet to release its next-generation Z-series CPUs designed specifically for handhelds, manufacturers are currently gravitating toward the Ryzen AI 300 series CPUs, originally aimed at laptops.
