Last week, AyaNeo announced that they were preparing a new console with an OLED screen. It will be smaller, thinner and lighter than the AyaNeo NEXT series that debuted in January this year. Although the device was released alongside AMD’s Ryzen 6000 series codenamed “Rembrandt,” the company opted for the Ryzen 7 5800 “Cezanne” and later Ryzen 7 5825U “Barcelo” APUs, both based on the Zen3 architecture and Vega graphics.
Members of the tech press and influencers have now received new information about the upcoming OLED console, including new photos and initial specs. The device weighs less than 500 grams and features a 6-inch OLED screen. Unfortunately, it looks like the console will use a Ryzen 5000 APU, which means no RDNA2 graphics cards like Valve’s Steam Deck. AyaNeo’s CEO confirmed the lack of RDNA2 graphics on the official Discord channel.
Given the size of this new console and rumors of a 12W limit, that means the device could use either a Ryzen 3 5400U or 5425U, like Gary Columbus. Both APUs are based on the Zen3 microarchitecture and AMD Vega graphics. These are quad-core APUs with core clocks up to 4.1 GHz and 6 Vega compute units operating at up to 1.9 GHz.

If you’re wondering about the console’s actual gaming performance, JamesCJ has some screenshots showing four games like GTA5 or Forza Horizon 5. Game settings unknown:

The console is slated for release in May of this year. AyaNeo previously confirmed that it will launch a Ryzen 6000 console this year, but apparently did not expect it so soon. In terms of pricing, the AyaNeo OLED should be more affordable than the AyaNeo Next, but certainly not as cheap as the Steam Deck. As such, Valve’s console will remain the only device under $400 with RDNA2 graphics.
