AMD’s Ryzen 7840U delivers a new wave of powerful handheld PCs.
One area where AMD is simply untouchable is in its APU business.
The AyaNeo 2S is very easy to describe.
The screen is simply beautiful, with phenomenal contrast.
Performance differences between them will come down to the surrounding hardware.
Then there’s the software.
Performance dropped, and I had issues with the video outputs essential for Digital Foundry work.
AyaNeo’s suggestion was to stick to their verified driver, which was unfortunately somewhat old.
The Deck’s processor, on the other hand, is designed for 15W.
We’ll be checking out power scaling on the next page.
I saw a similar situation in theCyberpunk 2077benchmark too.

you’re free to see how the scaling works here across the various AMD chips.
We saw this in the original ROG Ally review and it’s still there on the present firmware.
This benchmark is indicative of the kind of frustrations I encounted in testing these devices.
To get the most out of the latest chips, they really need more power.
Frame-rate limits are a good idea, even on legacy games.
