Ayaneo Integrates Strix Halo GPU and Battery in Next-Gen Gaming Handheld – Second Ryzen AI Max+ 395 Model Features Internal Power Source

Hey, so guess what? Ayaneo’s got this new handheld gaming PC coming up—and it’s packing a punchy GPU inside. The Ayaneo Next 2 or something. I mean, the name’s cool… I guess? Anyway, they’re talking about putting AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395 APU in there. Whoa! That includes the Radeon 8060S GPU, which has, like, 40 CUs. Crazy, right?

And about this whole performance thing—there’s the GPD Win 5 too. It’s got the same chip, but opts for an external battery. Why? I dunno, life choices? Meanwhile, the Ayaneo Next 2 sticks to a built-in battery. Feels like they’re confident in that decision. Maybe.

So, I saw some demo thing. Ayaneo’s tweaking the layout, kinda like what the Steam Deck did. It’s got joysticks and touchpads, which is a step up from their last model—only sticks back then. Baby steps, huh?

But what’s inside? They’ve got this internal PCB packed with some serious hardware—a dual-fan cooling system and a 12-phase power delivery design. Not that I totally get what that means on first read, but it sounds heavy-duty.

Also, this thing runs on AMD’s breadwinner, the Ryzen AI Max+ 395—codenamed Strix Halo (sounds like a sci-fi villain). Anyway, it’s a powerful APU with 16 Zen 5 CPU cores and a bunch of other specs that make techies drool. It wasn’t even meant to fit in a handheld, yet here we are.

Oh, and before I forget, they were supposed to launch this thing earlier. But then, surprise, delays! I mean, what’s new? The struggle to fit big tech in a tiny case, right?

Can’t wait to see how long the battery lasts on something advertised as beefy. It’s like a Rubik’s cube of a problem—complicated, nearly impossible, but kinda thrilling.

And yeah, more updates? Sure, why not. Keeping tabs on tech is like my side job or something.
