Ayaneo Integrates Strix Halo GPU and Battery into Next-Gen Gaming Handheld — Introducing the Second Ryzen AI Max+ 395 Model with Built-in Power Source

Sure, here’s a human-style rewrite of the article:

So okay, there’s this company, Ayaneo, right? They’re coming out with this handheld gaming PC and it’s packing a dedicated GPU. I know, sounds intense! They’re calling it the Ayaneo Next 2. And it’s got AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395 APU, with the Radeon 8060S GPU stuck in there. That’s got, like, 40 Compute Units – no idea what that means, but it sounds impressive, doesn’t it?

This baby apparently hits a new level for handheld gaming PCs. There’s this other thing called the GPD Win 5 that also includes this chip, but it takes the lazy route with an external battery. The Ayaneo Next 2, though, it’s got a “high-capacity” battery jammed inside. Handy, right?

And then there’s this pic – Ayaneo let us take a peek at its guts, showing off a spiffy little dual-fan cooling set-up. Plus, it’s got something they call a “monster” 12-phase power delivery thing. Yeah, not sure what it does, but I love that it’s called a monster!

The whole design thing is kind of inspired by the Steam Deck. They’ve slapped joysticks and touchpads on both sides of the screen. The older model didn’t have the touchpads, so this is a step up, I guess? They’ve kept quiet about a lot of other specs, though. They promise it’ll have some sort of “exclusive large-screen experience” and apparently, they’re pulling some magic with battery life and heat management.

Now, this is where it gets wild: the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is a beast. Apparently, it’s not really meant for handheld devices, but Ayaneo decided to, I dunno, break the rules a bit. This APU’s got 16 Zen 5 cores and a whole lotta cache (64MB L3 if you’re into tech trivia), swinging from 45 all the way to 120 Watts for power!

The GPU, the Radeon 8060S, is no slouch either, busting out 40 CUs at a zippy 2,900 MHz. Some say it’s up there with the mobile RTX 4060 or 4070 – which is gamer-speak for “kinda awesome.”

Ayaneo’s had some hiccups getting this device ready – delays, complications, you know the drill. But it’s almost ready to drop, and everyone’s curious about how long the battery will last with all that power munching away inside. Can’t wait to see what happens when it finally comes out, whenever that is.
