THE AOKZOE A1 PRO is a handheld gaming PC in the mold of the Asus ROG Ally, sporting essentially the same excellent AMD processor and a bigger screen, but without some of the restrictive Asusness. Does that make this the ultimate gaming handheld? Or should that be the ultimate Windows-powered handheld?
Before the Steam Deck launched, there were plenty of handheld rigs to choose from, but they all suffered from substandard integrated graphics. With the release of the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme and Ryzen 7 7840U APU twins, things have taken a dramatic turn for the better.
That was first proven by the Asus ROG Ally, but that was only 1080p. The new AOKZOE A1 Pro ups the ante to 1200p thanks to its 16:10 aspect display. The AMD Ryzen 7 7840U chip at the heart of the A1 Pro is effectively the same as the Z1 Extreme in the ROG Ally, so that’s eight Zen 4 processor cores running at up to 5.1GHz. More importantly, it comes with the RDNA 3-based Radeon 780M integrated GPU inside it.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?
WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?
Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation
EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.

The new Zen 5 CPUs are here—time to benchmark!
