OneXfly Apex Handheld Launches with AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395
In an exciting development for gaming enthusiasts and tech aficionados alike, OneXPlayer has unveiled its latest handheld console, the OneXfly Apex. This innovative device is set to redefine portable gaming, featuring the powerful AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 SoC, enhanced by a unique liquid cooling system. This new release is not just about hardware; it's a leap into the future of handheld gaming.
AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395: The Heart of OneXFly Apex
The OneXfly Apex is built around the AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ 395, a system-on-chip (SoC) that stands out in the crowded handheld market. Previously seen in other devices like the GPD Win 5 and Ayaneo Next 2, this cutting-edge SoC marks a significant upgrade over the previous Ryzen AI 300 series.
The AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 boasts an impressive architecture, featuring:
- 16 "Zen 5" CPU cores
- 40 "RDNA 3.5" GPU cores
- A robust 256-bit LP5X memory controller
These specifications enable the OneXfly Apex to deliver exceptional performance across both CPU and GPU tasks. In practical tests, the SoC has shown impressive results, operating at 120W and even maintaining efficiency at reduced levels of 54W TDP.
Innovative Cooling Solutions for Enhanced Performance
One of the standout features of the OneXfly Apex is its liquid cooling system, which allows the device to maximize performance without overheating. The external cooling module supports the SoC up to its full 120W TDP, while the built-in air-cooling system can still maintain performance levels between 85-100W. This dual approach to cooling is vital for sustaining long gaming sessions without thermal throttling.
To achieve this, the device employs two high-efficiency fans capable of generating an airflow of up to 6.70 CFM while remaining surprisingly quiet. Additionally, the cooling solution includes:
- Four heat pipes for direct contact with the SoC
- A heatsink with a massive coverage area of 47,200mm²
This combination not only enhances the overall efficiency but also contributes to a more comfortable gaming experience.
Memory and Storage Capabilities
The OneXfly Apex supports an impressive range of memory configurations, with options reaching up to 128 GB of LP5X-8000 RAM. This high-speed memory not only boosts performance but also allows the GPU to utilize up to 96 GB of VRAM. Such capabilities enable the handheld to run AAA titles at higher resolutions and even handle complex AI tasks, supporting models with up to 70 billion parameters.
Storage options are equally robust, featuring:
- A PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 slot for speeds up to 7100 MB/s
- A PCIe 4.0 Mini SSD slot supporting up to 3500 MB/s
- A TF expansion slot compatible with MicroSD cards up to 2 TB at 300 MB/s
This translates to a maximum potential storage capacity of 8 TB, ensuring that users can install numerous games and applications without running out of space.
Display and Gaming Performance
The OneXfly Apex features an upgraded 8-inch display with a refresh rate of 120Hz and variable refresh rate (VRR) support. The screen achieves 500 nits of brightness and covers 100% of the sRGB color gamut, offering a vibrant and immersive gaming experience. This display outshines many competitors, including the recently launched Xbox Ally X handhelds.
Performance benchmarks from 3DMark highlight the device's capabilities at different TDP settings:
- 25W: 4083
- 55W: 9035
- 80W: 10518
- 120W: 12146
In real-world gaming scenarios, the OneXfly Apex achieves remarkable frame rates, such as:
- 120 FPS in Black Myth Wukong (Low settings)
- 158 FPS in Forza Horizon 5 (High settings)
- 100 FPS in Cyberpunk 2077 (Ultra settings, 1080p)
Audio and Battery Life
Audio quality on the OneXfly Apex is enhanced by dual HARMAN "AudioEFX" certified speakers, providing a rich sound experience that complements the visual performance. The device is powered by an internal 85Wh battery, supplemented by an external battery pack that seamlessly connects to the back, allowing for extended gameplay without interruption.
