Are handheld consoles making a comeback? Well … there’s been a lot of news about the Steam Deck and now the AYANEO Next.
Taken from Videocardz … Just a few days ago AyaNeo confirmed it will be showcasing its new console on December 28th. However, this date is no longer on the table, as the company had to reschedule its plans to align with the AMD product announcement.
AyaNeo 2021 features AMD Ryzen 4000 series “Renoir” APUs based on Zen2 and Vega microarchitectures. The company announced it will release a new version of its console next year, with a showcase coming in just 4 days. The company has now announced it will reveal the Next console at January 4th press event instead.
Dear gamers,
For certain reasons, the Ayaneo event we planned on 28 Dec is rescheduled to 21:30, 4 Jan 2022 EST.
We apologize for the wait and invite you to join us on YouTube (https://t.co/5hnKlb02be), and meet the next generation gaming handheld – Ayaneo NEXT.Ayaneo Team pic.twitter.com/FVycdVRb4M

We speculated that the December 28th reveal could suggest that AyaNeo Next is not based on Rembrandt, simply because it has not yet been announced by AMD. The formal introduction of Rembrandt is now set for January 4th, which is the time when AMD holds its press conference hosted by Dr. Lisa Su. It is unclear why has AyaNeo rescheduled its announcement, but it definitely does not seem that the change happened at the very last minute, as Rembrandt requires a new socket and supports new memory technology. It might have been a miscommunication between both companies, or more likely, a decision to reveal the full specs rather than just a teaser.
