AMD Ryzen R7 4800U is paired with the 8-core Radeon Vega 8 graphics card, which brings 2 additional cores compared to the Ryzen R5 4500U, while the frequency of the graphics card has been increased to 1.75Ghz. With more cores and higher frequencies, image processing and rendering capabilities have also been dramatically improved.

 # New "Retro Power" design

AYANEO 2021 Pro adopts the classic handheld color scheme, with light grey body, dark gray d-pad, purple face buttons, and olive-green shoulder buttons. Retro can also be a trend, and Retro Power is the perfect interpretation of it.

Arthur Zhang said his handheld memories began many decades ago, and this design of Retro Power is to commemorate those unforgettable childhoods we had, while powered by AMD Ryzen R7 4800U, the memories of the times and the latest technology can be combined, which is cultural embodiment of product design.
