OneXPlayer X1 Pro Gaming Handheld Scores Intel Arrow Lake-H Chops
A few months ago, the OneXPlayer X1 Pro gaming handheld became one of the first in its category to boast AMD's 12-core Ryzen AI HX 370 'Strix Point' APU. The product also packed a pretty large 10.95-inch 120 Hz, 2560 x 1600 display as well as up to 64 GB of memory and a whopping 4 TB of internal solid-state storage. Now, the company behind the product has introduced a fresh new limited-edition variant named 'EVA' with a Neon Genesis-based theme and Arrow Lake-H internals. To be specific, this variant will boast Intel's Core Ultra 7 255H processor along with an eye-watering $1650 price tag.
The 16-core Core Ultra 7 255H will be paired with 64 GB of LPDDR5X memory, and 2 TB of SSD storage will be on offer. Unlike the AMD-powered variant, lower-end SKUs with 32 GB of memory and lesser storage space are not available. In terms of performance, the systems are quite neck-and-neck, which makes sense considering that the equivalent configurations are priced identically. The AMD APU has the lead in multicore performance, while the Intel part leads in single-core. In terms of GPU performance, the Arc 140T is quite a bit faster than the Radeon 890M, at least in synthetic tests. Real-life gaming performance is very similar, although performance varies heavily depending on the game being played.
