Ayaneo has just announced that it is working on a brand new handheld gaming console that will be called the Ayaneo 2S. This new portable console might just be the next competitor to the popular Steam Deck and the highly anticipated ASUS ROG Ally.

Ayaneo 2S to take on ASUS ROG Ally & Steam Deck Handheld Console

The company announced that it will be launching the 2S model soon on YouTube at its ‘New Product Sharing Session’. Here, it was revealed that the upcoming handheld console from the brand will be powered by an AMD Ryzen 7000 series chipset, which is likely the Ryzen 7 7840U processor. To put things into perspective, this chip is said to offer around the same performance as the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor that was announced earlier this week.

Notably, the Z1 Extreme is also the chipset that powers one of the ASUS ROG Ally variants. Unfortunately, the company has only teased the new compact console, but it appears to be similar in design as the Ayaneo 2. In other words, 2S model likely features only slight changes in design but with internal upgrades and other refreshes to make it more up to date for the current market.

The video also showcased that the Ayaneo 2S will house a three pipe cooler for improved thermal management as well. Apart from the newer chipset offering better performance overall, the new Radeon 780M graphics should also run on a low TDP range between 8 to 15. Meaning, we can expect to see better energy efficiency.
