Excitement for AMD Strix Halo in Handheld Gaming
The unveiling of the AMD Strix Halo APU in a handheld prototype provides a glimpse into the future of portable gaming, but it raises several concerns. While the 3DMark TimeSpy score of 10,366 impressively rivals desktop GPUs, the high TDP of 120 W poses questions about its practicality in handheld devices. > "This isn't a chip designed for a gaming device and it shows." The hefty price tag may deter gamers, especially when compared to the lower-tier HX AI 370. - Performance gains at low wattages are marginal, making it hard to justify the cost. - Strix Halo seems better suited for mini PCs and laptops than handhelds. While it's exciting to see innovation, I’m more eager for its implementation in mini PC form factors rather than handhelds.
