The AYANEO 3 is an upcoming handheld gaming PC with a 7 inch display, a familiar-but-updated design, and a choice of processor and display options that suggests AYANEO is looking to sell this handheld at a variety of price points.

Entry-level configurations will sport LCD displays and AMD Ryzen 7 8840U "Hawk Point" processors, but the company will also offer higher-priced versions of the AYANEO 3 with up to an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 "Strix Point" processor and an OLED display.

The Ryzen 7 8840U is a pretty good chip for mobile gaming: its CPU and graphics features are similar to those of the Ryzen Z1 Extreme, but the 8840U also has an NPU with up to 16 TOPS of on-device AI performance.

AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 may gets its name from the higher-performance NPU (with up to 50 TOPS), but it also brings updated CPU and graphics architecture and more CPU and GPU cores, which should bring a significant boost for gaming and other tasks.

AYANEO hasn't yet provided information about the screen resolution, memory, storage, or some other important details (like how much the AYENEO 3 will cost or when it will be available for purchase).

But while the physical design is reminiscent of the AYANEO 2, the new model features a few significant updates including front-facing speakers for better audio and an updated button system that includes trigger locks and two back buttons.

Pictures also show a set of ports that appears to include USB Type-C and OCuLink connectors, as well as a microSD card reader.
