AYA NEO has revealed the NEXT 2, a gaming handheld that will be available with Intel and AMD processors. While the latter will feature RDNA 2-based iGPUs, AYA NEO plans to offer the former with dedicated GPU options from the Intel Arc Graphics family. AYA NEO has drawn heavily from the design of the Steam Deck too.https://www.notebookcheck.net/AYA-NEO-NEXT-2-New-gaming-handheld-presented-with-Steam-Deck-looks-and-Intel-Arc-dGPU-or-AMD-Radeon-RX-6000-options.632385.0.html
Is it me or Aya is announcing too many devices?
I mean, where are they even getting the money to make those profitable in the first place? The tooling for many of those different designs is really expensive.
You got something wrong. Both the Intel and AND versions will ship with dGPU. In their slides and on their discord, Arthur has confirmed it to be a 6000 mobile series dGPU. Most speculate it to be the 6500m, since the 6300m would just be a 6800u performance wise.
They are charging 3 to 4 times the price of any handheld on the market

they honestly are releasing too many. Whoever is also backing them must have proper deep pockets. Also the PC handheld market is still fairly niche so im not sure why tjey pushing this hard.
