The Neo Pro\u2019s size is just right in my opinion, it handles games well and feels great in your hands. Whereas the 1S screen is larger and more immersive, but it\u2019s also physically larger and not as comfortable to hold or as portable in comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both have their wins and loses for system and gaming performance. I feel like for gaming, the 1S would overall be the better performing device for gaming in general. But for games that are optimised for multi cores and threads, the Aya would be the ideal choice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Aya-Neo-2021-Pro-Crash-Bandicoot-4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Aya-Neo-2021-Pro-Crash-Bandicoot-4-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Crash Bandicoot 4 on AYA NEO 2021 Pro\" class=\"wp-image-3410\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Aya-Neo-2021-Pro-Crash-Bandicoot-4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Aya-Neo-2021-Pro-Crash-Bandicoot-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Aya-Neo-2021-Pro-Crash-Bandicoot-4-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Aya-Neo-2021-Pro-Crash-Bandicoot-4-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Aya-Neo-2021-Pro-Crash-Bandicoot-4-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Aya-Neo-2021-Pro-Crash-Bandicoot-4.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Crash Bandicoot 4 on AYA NEO 2021 Pro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>I am still very much undecided between the two.

We take a look at and discuss the system specs, new designs and improvements over the original Aya Neo AMD Windows gaming handheld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/go.droix.co.uk\/AYANEO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Aya<\/a> re expanding their range of gaming handhelds with a new model which features a faster processor as well as a new retro themed model and accessories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-aya-neo-2021-pro-technical-specifications-1\">Aya Neo 2021 Pro Technical Specifications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><strong>Aya Neo 2021<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Aya Neo 2021 Pro<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td><\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>CPU<\/strong><\/td><td>Ryzen 5 4500U<\/td><td>Ryzen 7 4800U<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>CORES<\/strong><\/td><td>6<\/td><td>8<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>THREADS<\/strong><\/td><td>6<\/td><td>16<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>SPEED<\/strong><\/td><td>2.3Ghz Base, 4.0Ghz Max Boost<\/td><td>1.8GHz Base, 4.2GHz Max Boost<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td><\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>GPU<\/strong><\/td><td>AMD Radeon Graphics<br><\/td><td>AMD Radeon Graphics<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>CORES<\/strong><\/td><td>6<\/td><td>8<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>SPEED<\/strong><\/td><td>1.5GHz<\/td><td>1.7GHz&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see from the technical specs, the Aya Neo 2021 Pro improves over the original in all areas with more CPU cores and threads and a higher maximum CPU speed. In addition, the Radeon Graphics also benefits from an upgrade with two additional cores and faster clock speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can expect to see a considerable jump in performance between the two devices. Depending on the benchmarks this could be anything from 5% to 60%. For instance, we have seen from previous benchmarks that the percentages vary due to whether or not they take into account the extra number of cores and threads.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/PassMark-Ryzen-5-4500U-vs-Ryzen-7-4800U.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/PassMark-Ryzen-5-4500U-vs-Ryzen-7-4800U.png\" alt=\"PassMark Scores for Aya Neo and Aya Neo 2021 based on CPU\" class=\"wp-image-24640\" width=\"512\" height=\"115\" \/><\/a><figcaption>PassMark Scores for Aya Neo and Aya Neo 2021 based on CPU<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>As an example, PassMark scores 11,220 on the 4500U and 17,277 on the 4800U, that&#8217;s around 54% difference. This type of benchmark tests all available cores and threads to give a more accurate test of performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In gaming performance, there may be less of a gap as some games are only designed to use a set number of cores, say six for instance. Above all, the 4800U will come out on top every time, although the gap may not be as large as 54%<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-other-specifications\">Other specifications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Aya Neo 2021 Pro will feature a 7 inch IPS Screen with a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gamut\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">colour gamut<\/a> of 78% NTSC. It has a peak brightness of 500 nits and a PPI of 215. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of RAM and storage, the new Ryzen handheld will have the same 16GB LPDDR4x RAM. In our tests we found it to be very fast! The storage is available in 1TB and 2TB m.2 NVMe. This is a step up from the 512GB and 1TB offered on the original.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Aya-Neo-2021-Pro-Retro-Power-with-Dock.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Aya-Neo-2021-Pro-Retro-Power-with-Dock.jpg\" alt=\"Aya Neo 2021 Pro with Retro Power docking station\" class=\"wp-image-24680\" width=\"512\" height=\"330\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Aya Neo 2021 Pro with Retro Power docking station<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Following on from the original Aya Neo, it will feature at 47Wh large battery for long battery life. Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0 are also present for fast data transfer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-aya-neo-improvements\">Aya Neo Improvements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The new Aya Neo Pro continues to build on the improvements since the launch of their original Aya Neo Founder Edition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New multi-level linear triggers, aka analogue triggers, are part of the new design. For instance, this gives gamers more control over their games like Forza Horizon 4 and Dirt 5. With analogue triggers it would be more similar to gently pressing an accelerator pedal, rather than foot slamming it.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Aya-Neo-2021-Analogue-Trigger.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Aya-Neo-2021-Analogue-Trigger-1024x643.jpg\" alt=\"Aya Neo Pro Analogue Trigger\" class=\"wp-image-24677\" width=\"512\" height=\"322\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Aya Neo Pro Analogue Trigger<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The built-in vibration motor sees improvements with a new X-axis linear motor instead of a standard linear motor. This will bring a greater degree of vibration accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the complaints of the original was that the button prints faded very soon after using them. Aya has improved the way the buttons are manufactured, which should improve the durability of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cooling system has also been improved with a new heat dissipating dual copper tube. This will provide faster and more stable heat removal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Aya-Neo-2021-Pro-Cooling.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Aya-Neo-2021-Pro-Cooling-1024x463.jpg\" alt=\"New Cooling Design\" class=\"wp-image-24679\" width=\"512\" height=\"232\" \/><\/a><figcaption>New Cooling Design<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-aya-neo-pro-design\">Aya Neo Pro Design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Aya Neo 2021 Pro will have the two colour schemes found on the original which is Dark Star and Light Moon.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Aya-Neo-2021-Pro-Dark-Star-and-Light-Moon.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Aya-Neo-2021-Pro-Dark-Star-and-Light-Moon-1024x227.jpg\" alt=\"Dark Star and Light Moon models\" class=\"wp-image-24674\" width=\"512\" height=\"114\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Dark Star and Light Moon models<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>In addition, a brand new design called \u2018Retro Power\u2019 has been announced.
