The OneXFly Apex, a high-end handheld gaming PC powered by AMD’s new Strix Halo APU, has officially launched, and it’s already turning heads with performance figures that rival desktop GPUs.
Unveiled just a month after its teaser, the OneXFly Apex is now available for pre-order in China. What sets it apart is its custom liquid cooling system, allowing the device to run at an unprecedented 120W TDP. While the handheld technically needs to be tethered to an external cooling dock with coolant tubes for this setup, the performance payoff is huge.
According to the company’s benchmarks, the OneXFly Apex outperforms NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4060 desktop GPU by up to 15% when running in its full 120W mode. In 3DMark Time Spy tests, it scored:
- 4,083 points at 40W
- 9,035 at 55W
- 10,518 at 80W
- And a whopping 12,146 at 120W
In real-world gaming, the numbers are just as impressive. At 1080p and 120W, Black Myth: Wukong ran at 120 FPS, Cyberpunk 2077 at 98 FPS, and Forza Horizon 5 at 158 FPS — roughly 125% faster than devices using the older Ryzen Z2 Extreme chip.
The pricing in China starts at:
- ¥8,599 (approx ₹1 lakh) for the Ryzen AI Max 385 variant with 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD
- ¥9,999 (₹1.17 lakh) for the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 model with 48GB RAM and 1TB SSD
- ¥11,999 (₹1.41 lakh) for the 2TB model with 64GB RAM
- ¥16,999 (₹2 lakh) for the top-tier 128GB RAM model
The highest-end version is also aimed at users looking to run AI and LLM (large language model) workloads on the go.
With 95% renewable energy usage, a compact design, and desktop-class power, the OneXFly Apex blurs the line between handheld and high-performance PC. However, its reliance on an external cooling base may make some gamers question just how portable it really is.
