The world of mini laptops and gaming handhelds is set to get an exciting new addition with the upcoming One-Netbook OneGx 2. Recently teased by the company, this innovative device is creating buzz with its sleek design and detachable keyboard. However, the company has remained tight-lipped about the specifications, leaving tech enthusiasts eager for more details.
According to information shared by the reputable tipster RealVictor on X, the OneGx 2 is rumored to be powered by a top-tier AMD APU, specifically the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. This is the same powerhouse found in the GPD Pocket 4, although GPD’s device is more focused on productivity while offering the convenience of portable gaming.
If these rumors hold true and the OneGx 2 indeed features the AMD Strix Point APU, it would mark a significant leap forward from its predecessor. The original model launched with an Intel Core i5 10210Y processor, which came with a basic UHD Graphics 615 iGPU. This setup was far from ideal for modern gaming, with performance languishing between the AMD Radeon HD 8550G and the Nvidia GeForce GT 720M.
In stark contrast, the anticipated Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 is equipped with the Radeon 890M iGPU, based on the advanced RDNA 3.5 architecture. Performance benchmarks suggest that this iGPU operates between the Nvidia GTX 1650 Mobile and the GTX 980M, providing the capability to run most contemporary AAA games smoothly at 1080p on Medium settings.
While there’s speculation that the OneGx 2 could also be equipped with an Intel Lunar Lake chip, the choice of processor remains uncertain. However, what is clear is that with its unique design and compact form, the OneGx 2 aims to carve its niche in the market, standing toe-to-toe with upcoming devices like the next GPD Win Mini, which is also expected to harness the power of an AMD Strix Point APU.
This development in gaming technology is testament to the ever-evolving landscape, promising to deliver more power and portability than ever before. For those eager to game on the go without compromising on performance, the One-Netbook OneGx 2 is certainly one to watch.
