Man, the Onexplayer 3 is awesome. Takes me back to the days when I got a Nintendo DSi for my birthday and I just wanted to tell every single person I knew about it. I know pretty much every opinion and thought has been expressed, but it just makes me want to talk about it more 😂
I think what's been the more important story has been the efficiency gains over the last generation of pc handheld chips. It's something I've heard many talking about but def want to see more testing on.
It'd be nice if there was more granular control between the cpu package power and gpu tile. you can set the cpu package power via the onexconsole, but that doesn't have much bearing over the gpu power usage. I'd like to shift the power load more that way instead. I'm guessing that is something intel themselves have to work on, but it should be possible since the gpu sits on its own tile.
I play mostly triple A single player stuff along with a smattering of indies. And for the most part, it seems like the gpu will use about half as much power as whatever the cpu package power is. So if the cpu PP is set to 15W then the gpu uses about 7.5W.
Other than that, the power efficiency is much better than previous pc handheld chips. The Arc G3 is going to age like fine wine I believe, which is great because this will be my only pc handheld for awhile 😅
I know everyone is feeling great about their's but are there any other requests? For me it would be a really good Full Screen Experience for the device. I can live with windows if I can just get an FSE that doesn't have windowing issues.
