AMD-Powered OLED Handheld Set to Compete with Steam Deck OLED — Ryzen 9 AI HX 370 Achieves 50-60 FPS in Black Myth: Wukong at 1080p Low Settings

In a recent YouTube teaser, OneXPlayer lifted the curtain on their latest handheld gaming device, the Onexfly F1 Pro. This intriguing gadget is powered by AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, a member of the Ryzen AI 300 family, known in tech circles as Strix Point. The trailer gave us a glimpse of the Onexfly F1 Pro’s performance, showcasing its ability to run the game Black Myth: Wukong with frame rates ranging between 50 and 60 FPS on a 7-inch display.

The Onexfly F1 Pro boasts a cutting-edge 7-inch OLED screen that supports HDR, delivering visuals with a stunning refresh rate of 144 Hz. Weighing in at a mere 598 grams, it also comes equipped with Harman Kardon speakers, promising an immersive audio experience. At its core, the device features the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, which includes a blend of four Zen 5 cores and eight Zen 5c cores, alongside AMD’s modern Radeon 890M iGPU with 16 compute units, all built on the RDAN 3.5 architecture. Thanks to these impressive specs, the OneXFly F1 Pro stands as a formidable challenger to other devices in the market such as the Steam Deck OLED, ROG Ally X, and Lenovo Legion Go.

In a benchmark test, OneXPlayer demonstrated the F1 Pro running Black Myth: Wukong at a 1080p resolution on low settings with 65% upscaling, equivalent to a rendering resolution of 1248 x 702. The handheld maintained an average frame rate of 58 FPS under a power constraint of 15W, highlighting its efficiency and capability.

With this launch, OneXPlayer enters new territory; the Onexfly F1 Pro is their inaugural device featuring both an OLED display and AMD’s latest Zen 5-based mobile CPUs. Previously, their devices have utilized older Intel or AMD chips and non-OLED screens. In the landscape of Zen 5-powered handhelds, this device marks one of the first of its kind, alongside competition like the GPT Pocket 4, the only other notable device using the Ryzen AI HX 370.

While the Pocket 4 offers a 2-in-1 hybrid design with a keyboard and a convertible screen, the F1 Pro stays true to the handheld gaming roots, emphasizing traditional gaming controls and ergonomic grip.

The performance teasers by OneXPlayer clearly suggest that the AI 9 HX 370 is tailor-made for handheld gaming. It smoothly handles demanding AAA titles even at a balanced 15W TDP, which optimizes battery life. As the next wave of AMD’s Z-series CPUs for handhelds has yet to debut, manufacturers are currently relying on the Ryzen AI 300 series, typically destined for laptops.
