Not a year has passed since AYA launched its next-generation NEO 2021 PRO console to the market when it officially took the first steps to present its new bet: AYANEO NEXT. This console is set to be the benchmark of the sector, as the company has revealed that it will include “new AMD Cores”, which has caused maximum speculation against Steam Deck. In addition, there is an official presentation date.
Barely an hour ago we were talking about the new ONEXPLAYER Mini console and now we have the news that AYA is going to fight and very aggressively launch another new version (pun intended) that will put all other manufacturers on the ropes. .
AYANEO NEXT, Cores Rembrandt Zen 3 and RDNA 2?

It was difficult to overcome but apparently they will get there. It is on Twitter that the company launched the bomb with a date inscribed: December 28, more than a week to reveal all the data related to this new AYANEO NEXT.
What can we learn from it? Well, what is certain is that it will have a new generation of AMD cores, which logically brings us to the Zen 3 architecture. But from there, it’s all just speculation, since the possibilities are quite open and that the performances would evolve towards a lesser according to what was chosen.
It’s gone from a Ryzen 5 4500U to a much more capable Ryzen 7 4800U, so we can’t expect more from these. 8 cores and 16 threads which will incorporate the new APU used, but in the rest we could see suggestive changes. The main doubt is in the manufacturing node, as we don’t know if it will collect the 7nm again or go straight to the new ones. 6nm from TSMC
It is rumored that this will be the case and that there will therefore be a leap in efficiency or consumption, as well as a step forward in the implementation of the Zen 3 architecture. We do not know if it This will indeed be the case or they will stay with Cézanne (Ryzen 5000G), which marks the second and most important performance point.
Will the GPU be Vega the RDNA 2?
Depending on the micro architecture chosen, it will be one or the other. Going from Vega 8 to Vega 11 isn’t a really interesting performance jump, but if they pick Rembrandt to upgrade to RDNA 2, it will certainly be remarkable.
Mainly because it would move away from the Steam Deck and compete with One X options with Intel processors and iGPU Xe, even if for the moment everything is pure speculation until the 28th of this month. What is confirmed is the move to Windows 11 being the first portable console that will include it as standard and which will therefore already enter 2022 with the latest from Microsoft.
If on this day this AYANEO NEXT is announced with APU AMD Rembrandt, it would mean that it anticipates the official presentation of the AMD Day 4 at CES 2022, which would be surprising and at the same time cool the options to see Zen 3+ on a portable console as well as RDNA 2. Do you dare? Do you have authorization from AMD? Or is it more of a simple update to the NEO 2021 PRO?
