The first Intel Meteor Lake handheld gaming PC breaks cover as does the most Nintendo DS PC you will ever see
Emdoor, a PC manufacturer that normally ships rugged systems for industrial use, is joining the portable gaming PC bandwagon with a machine that's uniquely different from all of the others. Rather than using one of AMD's all-in-one processors, this device will be sporting a new Intel Meteor Lake CPU.
As spotted by Twitter user harukaze5719, Emdoor's handheld gaming PC looks like it might be a pretty decent machine. Ignoring the chip for the moment, the rest of the specs are solid, with an eight inch 1920 x 1200 screen, up to 32GB of LDDR5X memory, and one M.2 slot that supports up to 2TB of storage.
Valve's Steam Deck uses a custom AMD processor, whereas the Asus ROG Ally sports an AMD Z1 or Z1 Extreme, a custom version of AMD's Ryzen 7 7840U used across most other handheld devices. However, Emdoor has gone down the Intel route for its EM-GP080MTL (yeah, it really needs a better name than that) and that really piqued my interest.
Mostly because we know little about the processor itself, as it's a Meteor Lake one. This is Intel's next CPU architecture and although it's targeted at the mobile sector, and comprises multiple tiles, we know that when paired with XeSS upscaling, the Meteor Lake gaming performance is surprisingly good.
In Notebook Italia's video, where an Emdoor rep demonstrates the device, we can see the CPU is a Meteor Lake-H (20W-35W) and the GPU, which is integrated in the processor, is an Arc Graphics 5. We've explored what's new in the architecture before but Intel has remained very tight-lipped about what the different tiers of CPUs will be like.
The video does drop a few snippets of info, though. For example, the Emdoor rep demonstrates how you can adjust the device's performance on the fly, the
