After several months of teasers, the Ayaneo 3 gaming handheld has finally witnessed its official launch. The product will be available with two APUs - the Ryzen 7 8840U for the entry variant, and the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 for the high-end variant. The system can be equipped with up to 64 GB of LPDDR5X-7500 memory, and a whopping 4 TB of SSD storage. The handheld will also feature modular controllers, which can be detached with the click of a single button.
The Ayaneo 3 will also give customers the option to chose between an LCD or an OLED panel, and as VideoCardz notes, selecting the OLED option does not change the final price. As mentioned earlier, the system will be available with either a Zen 4 or a Zen 5 APU. The Strix Point variant leads the Hawk Point part by almost around 50% in multicore tests, and the HX 370's integrated Radeon 890M iGPU is somewhere around 25% more performant than the 8840U's Radeon 780M. Clearly, the performance gap between the two variants will be substantial.
The pricing for the Ayaneo 3, unsurprisingly, puts it on the premium side of the spectrum, with the entry-level variant with the Ryzen 7 8840U APU paired with 16 GB of memory and 512 GB of storage commanding a cool $899 ($100 and $200 discounts for early birds and Indiegogo customers respectively). The higher-end variant with the Strix Point APU, 32 GB of memory, and 1 TB storage starts at a whopping $1,499, with the same discounts as its more affordable sibling. The handheld will be available in three different colorways: Starry Black, Sky White, and Retro Power.
