Handheld maker Aya Neo is including the Aya Neo 2 and Aya Neo Slide to its lineup of portable computer gaming devices, each of that is set to include an upgraded Ryzen 7 6800U chip, and a Radeon 680M integrated GPU with RDNA 2 graphics, consistent with a file from Liliputing. The Radeon 680M iGPU is capable of pushing 3.38 teraflops, more than double the 1.6 teraflops brought by the Steam Deck.
As pointed out via Tom’s hardware, the Ryzen 7 6800 APU (elevated processing unit) comes with eight cores and runs at the quicker Zen 3 plus structure. It also comes with the included Radeon 680M GPU, which has 12 compute units (CUs). In contrast, the Stream Deck has a quad-core AMD APU that runs on the older Zen 2 structure and an iGPU with RDNA 2 photos and eight CUs. Judging through these specs, the Neo 2 and Neo Slide should have the capacity to outperform the Steam Deck — however, we won’t know for sure until we see the devices in action.
While both the Slide and Neo 2 run windows and include support for LPDDR5-6400 RAM, Aya says the Neo 2 may also function with PCIe 4.0 storage, and USB 4.0 ports, in addition to a fingerprint scanner. Similar to wearing some internal upgrades, the outdoors of the device have additionally been overhauled. The Neo 2 swaps its predecessor’s rougher edges for more rounded corners, making it look greater like the Aya Neo subsequent tool the organization released earlier this year. It additionally has an up-to-date dark/light grey color scheme that reminds me of Nintendo’s conventional consoles.

The Neo Slide, but, comes with a good more interesting layout. As its call implies, the display screen slides up to expose a backlit RGB keyboard, sort of like a larger model of the Motorola Droid 4 (and different old phones) which have the identical capability. It’s uncertain how well this may work, but it might be pretty cool to slip up your display and start typing to friends without a good deal of interruption to gameplay.
Aya Neo didn’t offer launch dates for the Neo Slide or Neo 2 but says they’re coming later this year. And at the same time as there aren’t any pricing details both, the devices likely won’t be reasonably-priced — the Aya Neo, Aya Neo pro, and Aya Neo next value over $1,000, a great deal more than the $399 beginning charge of the Steam Deck. We may additionally see pricing that’s (optimistically) toward the Steam Deck with Aya Neo’s upcoming entry-stage Neo Air, however, there’ll be a change-off when it comes to performance.
