last word was they'd get final motherboards to build the prod devices by Nov 29

#

so uh, soon?

#

unless something goes wrong I guess we'll hear something this week

“Full unit assembly and deliveries will start in early December.”

this is going to be uncomfortably close to Christmas especially for us EU peeps

this is going to be close for anyone with 4px as shipment

yeah

#

was kind of hoping they'd start shipping this week

but oh well

I don't really mind. I'm just happy that they are not delaying it like the konkr.

When they release the ARM steamOS, any educated guesses on how long it will take for someone to get it working for our chipset?

Don't expect it for at least 6+ months.

I don't understand what is meaning...the spatial audio filter isn't for the speaker sound?

#

He is talking about 2 diferent things in there

#

There is something to protect the fan that is too close to the fan itself, creating a whistling noise

#

He is also talking about how there is a ressonance Chamber to increase audio quality

Any truth to this?

#

just tested RDR port on Elite ... and a bit shocked

#

80-90% gpu load on native 1080p

#

mariodead why not feral do this port ...

kindred crypt
# tawny bluff Any truth to this?

my impression is that there are little pockets and corners here and there where you can see some glimpses of this chip performing better than the Deck, but the translation layer is still too heavy to be able to make that blanket statement for PC gaming yet

short gust
#

steam deck has very strong vulcan support

#

equivalent power to 8 gen 3

leaden hollow
# tawny bluff

AFAIK the 8 elite does score better than the steam deck in geekbench's vulkan gpu benchmarks. 8 elite is around 24,000 and the steam deck is around 19,000 iirc. So technically yeah it could

#

Still a ways off from the 780m though

wary matrix
#

but 780m handhelds are heavy as fuck kirbypopcorn

#

like just comparing my Ayaneo Slide to the Pocket Fit, it's insane kek

leaden hollow
#

Yeah, think we gotta wait till the 8 gen 6 to beat out the z1e

short gust
#

technically it decent port (abnormal gpu load), graphics not bad

#

native res u can put via config file

short gust
#

z1 extreme arround 40k

#

Elite Gen5 28500

leaden hollow
#

My legion go only got 34k damn

stiff kettle
#

These mobile scores probably can’t sustain as well as x86, at least for most of them. Single run only part of the story. And yeah, until stuff is released native arm there’s still a gap. Raw numbers only part of the story

short gust
#

yup, steam os will make a final gap

ripe stirrup
#

Don't think geekbench vulkan scores always translate directly to gaming performance anyway.

short gust
#

it does if nothing else not ruin it

#

like ''android'' drivers translation etc

#

steam os arm vs steam os x86 will be similar

leaden hollow
#

Actually nvm it got 36k

#

Lfg

leaden hollow
ripe stirrup
short gust
#

noone compare real gpu in geekbench

#

this why nomad light peoples use to battle arm things vs x86 apus

#

and solar bay

short gust
stiff kettle
#

Also depends on the game and what the bottleneck is. VRAM for textures? CPU performance for cpu intensive games? Etc. It’s not just raw gpu that matters.

short gust
#

eh, CPU far away

#

Gen5 better than Core Ultra 288v even

#

Elite similar to 256V

leaden hollow
short gust
#

vram what? it use ram, but we have super fast ram 8533/9600Mhz (top tier laptops/handhelds only has it)

#

and 12 (3x4) /18 (3x6) mb (A830/A840) additional gpu cluster
simply answer = there no any ram/vram speed/bandwidth bottleneck

leaden hollow
#

The Steam Deck Oled's ram is LPDDR5 at 6400 MT/s and the Odin 3 is LPDDR5x, so worst case scenario the Odin 3 is on par with it if not better

short gust
#

vs
steam deck legacy 5.500Mt/s - Quad 128bit = 88Gb/s

#

vs steam deck oled 6.400Mt/s = 102Gb/s

#

raw numbers, but in actual real case lowest and best will not have big difference

that awkward moment when the Odin 3 emulates switch games at a higher resolution and with better life than playing them native on the Switch 2

worldly sail
kindred crypt
worldly sail
# kindred crypt Odyssey might be an exception since it got a patch, but afaik most games can't r...

See that one parentheses is the exact thing I care about a lot more, since I’ve been actually still enjoying a good number of S1 games in S2’s handheld mode, and for the games that don’t look good in handheld I just play on docked mode instead (and both of which regardless actively play a lot of those games way better than on S1).

Meanwhile, the whole reason I actively preferred playing Switch games on a modded Switch Lite over stuff like the Odin 2 and shit is directly because most of the games I like actively had downright awful graphical errors, and for the most part they’ve still shown up in stuff like Eden even with how much better some games have gotten.

#

And this is with the 8 Gen 2 in mind, the 8 Elite has gotten better, but it’s still got a lot more compatibility issues compared to older chipsets.

kindred crypt
#

of course, but it's tantalizing that we can get 6h of docked mode here when compatibility allows

#

compatibility is still ways off, but for the first time we get a glimpse of emulation being better than the original system which is exciting

#

I feel like in some ways this is where switch emulation crosses the Rubicon from "gimmick" to "could be viable some day"

#

sure the 8 gen 2 and below could do switch, but heavy weight titles always came with an asterisk in terms of resolution and/or battery life

#

with the 8 elite though, you get great res and great, practical battery life for every day use; now the only constraint is compatibility

keen tulip
worldly sail
keen tulip
keen tulip
#

but with the work going into emulators to improve compatibility, I really do think most of those compatibility issues will be sorted in the next year or two

#

and 8 elite turnip drivers are an issue being acticvely worked on by an experienced mesa dev in the employ of Qualcomm

#

so that's a non-issue, given a few months' time

worldly sail
worldly sail
#

I get the excitement, but at the current moment, all we’re doing is the exact same “overhyping for something that didn’t actually exist yet” that we did with the RP5’s Linux support announcement in assuming “oh this got the SteamFork and Bazzite devs interested, we’re gonna get Arm-SteamOS!”, and so far all that’s led to is just Rocknix and a semi-functioning Armbrian build, where we’re only now having hope for Arm-SteamOS due to Valve themselves actively making it themselves.

Literally right before Russ’s review where he directly went into the issues currently still ongoing with Switch on 8 Elite, we had people getting overhyped and making claims that “8 Elite is at the same level of compatibility as other chipsets” (which was a bold faced lie based solely on an estimate that still hasn’t been met, not a confirmation).

keen tulip
#

I don't think it's be at the near-perfect level of, say, SNES emulation for years yet, but I think the time that it'll take to be good for first-party titles I care about is close enough to have me not bothered about getting an Odin 3 instead of a Switch 2

#

and I can just buy indies on Steam and play 'em in Gamehub or GameNative

worldly sail
#

Also wait, what are you guys talking about with the better framerate? Half of the more recent videos I’ve seen on 8 elite performance with the higher end S1 games have been actively less stable than what the S2 does.

worldly sail
keen tulip
keen tulip
#

I'm stoked to play games that run at poor-to-pretty-decent framerates on Flip 2 at 60 or even 120fps on Odin 3

#

to me Switch is something I can wait for as I work through my indie backlog

worldly sail
keen tulip
#

I don't think I've seen a reviewer play BotW w/ NX Optimizer/Ultracam yet, which is unfortunate, because locked 30fps isn't that impressive imo

worldly sail
#

Like, in the same 1-2 years that Eden could bring compatibility to 8 Elite up to the same level as 8 Gen 2 and such, the Switch 2 could suddenly get an update that “adds a toggle for playing S1 games in docked mode on S2’s handheld mode, the issues with a ton of games looking worse in handheld mode due to lacking an update for the 1080p screen” or devs could actually just start doing S2 updates that add 1080p and 60fps (or even 120fps for some games) support.

Both of these are literally just something that could happen at some point, they’re not what is actually properly happening at the moment.

keen tulip
#

I dunno, I have enough trust in the emulation development community that I thing us getting very good Switch emulation in the next few years is nearly a guarantee

#

considering how solid it already is

#

whereas I've already seen the number of PS4 games that got a proper PS5 update after the initial rush to do so in the few momnths directly after the console's release

#

there's definitely a chance of Nintendo adding the ability to play Switch 1 games in docked mode on a handheld Switch 2, but I'm not holding my breath for the company that took five years to half-assedly add folders to their console's game library

max is the only sensible SKU but it turns out everybody has too much money lol

ultra wasn't even gonna be sold at first, it was a last minute addition

I buy ultra, because it cost similar like Max+SD card, and the main thing 256 GB is not enough for Gamehub/Steam games and you can’t use SD card for that.

ultra might be considered a sensible choice now considering the ram and nand pricing situation. Don't think we will see any better performance/$ options for the next 1-2 years, at least for higher end devices with large ram and storage

This has probably been asked a stupendous amount, so I apologise in advance.... Bit I'm looking to finally (saved up money) get an Ayn product, and I'm tossing up between the Odin Portal 2 or the Odin 3. Id be mostly using it to emulate N64/Dreamcast up to PS2, and maybe WiiU/Switch. Also docking it to play on tv would be a bonus. Is there any point waiting for the O3? Or is the Portal the way to go? Thanks guys, and again, apologies if these questions are getting annoying đŸŒČ

Oh. I have a retroid 4pro, and have no problem with them. So I think I'll be alright 😁. Is the docking experience okay with the portal? Id probably use it mostly handheld but I'd always like the option to dock to play Morrowind đŸ€Ł

The AYN case doesn't fit the Portal when it's in its grip, unfortunately. I'm a sucker for an official case and wish AYN would have made one that fits the grip, but they didn't and have said they won't. I'm happy they've changed that for the Thor and Odin 3, where they've made two cases - one for without the grip, and one for with the grip

olive oriole
keen tulip
#

it might be able to push 4k on some games but I’m not sure there

#

my personal choice fell into not wanting to buy an expensive handheld running an old chip

#

but obviously you do get some benefits with the older chip, such as solid software and driver support now instead of needing to wait on software to catch up to the hardware

#

8 gen 2 has a compatibility edge on more problematic systems, like Switch and sometimes Wii, but 8 elite has the performance edge on anything that’s not as problematic, which is basically all PS2/GCN and below plus PC

#

I’ve also seen really good things about Wii U performance, which at first shocked me but is also delightful because it means I can play LoZ WWHD and TPHD handheld at solid framerates

wary matrix
#

8 Elite also has compatibility problems with lower end systems, just look at the reviews doggylol

#

also 8gen2 has more than enough power for PS2 and below, it's literally only PC where an 8 Elite CAN shine - - not necessarily will, due to drivers

keen tulip
#

Vulkan renderer fixes every issue he encountered, with the exception of N64, where you can either use angrylion and be stuck without scaling or use a standalone emulator and also be perfectly fine

wary matrix
#

I don't watch anything Joey... so maybe some others also mentioned it kirbypopcorn

keen tulip
#

well they too were dumb or lazy about it

keen tulip
#

I was under the impression it’ll chug at 4k on some tougher-to-run games

#

Dirge of Cerberus notwithstanding of course, issues there are found across the board

keen tulip
#

Dolphin doesn’t currently have an Android dev experienced with the render pipeline, so it’s just going to be progressively more buggy on newer chips, and require using ubershaders to fix the issues, until somebody takes up that mantle

kindred crypt
keen tulip
#

also I can’t say I agree that they look bad upscaled, one reviewer shared pics of 4K MGS3 and it looked like a PS3 game

#

probably game-dependent, but still

#

good to know 8 gen 2 can handle 4K PS2/GCN upscaling though, guess I misunderstood

lost loom
#

russ covered this in his G2 review

#

even the G2 chip do almost 4k

#

can do 4x PS2

#

do he did test them with GOW2, so lighter titles can be at 4k with the G2 chip

keen tulip
#

nice

#

I’d still go 8 elite over a weaker chip this late in the game, but to each their own

olive oriole
#

Well now I'm back on the fence 😂

lost loom
#

For me I'd go Odin 3 or RP6

#

Cheapest 8 gen 2 handheld Vs cheapest 8 elite handheld

#

Shame there aren't any 8 gen 3/G3 gen 3 handhelds other than ayaneo

#

Hope next year others would start using that

olive oriole
#

Yeah that's true. The driver support and huge screen are the appeal for me.... But seeing as the 3 and portal are the same price.... Seems a little foolish to not go for the beefier one

#

I was originally resolved to not even consider the Thor... But now Russ is gushing about it in the newest video.... Maybe I should haha

novel panther
#

I still say get the Portal doggylol

#

But maybe once I get my Odin 3 I'll change my tune!

olive oriole
#

Haha. Well..... When does that come? Maybe I'm better waiting for a couple of weeks haha. There's probably no need to rush

novel panther
#

Thing is, Thor and Odin 3 are on backorder now too. They won't be shipping the next batch until mid-Jan, and it's been like that for a few weeks (so you won't even be first in the queue). A Portal should presumably ship right away, and you might even be able to find one on eBay will all the accessories and stuff

#

But Lapis is right about the power angle... 8 Elite in the Odin 3 is gonna be exciting in 2026 as devs unlock its true potential, whereas the 8Gen2 ain't getting any more powerful

olive oriole
#

Hmmmm. But, seeing as the max I really care about is PS2, GameCube, and some android. Then maybe that doesn't really matter. My concern is the portal becoming obsolete... But if it's as powerful as it seems.... I should be okay until at least 2027. I mean, I made my rp4pro last this long. Seems a big step up haha

#

And the docking to the TV. Running PC games doesn't really interest me, I play retro mostly (and yes, it hurts to fall PS2 retro haha)

novel panther
#

Yeah maybe just double-check some old reviews to see if the Portal can deffo do 4K PS2 and GC. I think RGC and (as much as people like to rag on him...) ETA Prime always test docked mode in their reviews

olive oriole
#

Oh good tip! Though, tbh, 1080 would probably be ok with those games docked, don't you reckon?

#

Seems the only reason to go with Odin 3 is for future proofing.... Which I may not need 😂

keen tulip
#

yeah, if you don’t need the extra power, the main differentiator is those sticks – and you can get pretty close to ‘em with higher-profile stick caps for the O2P

Update on Odin 3 Ultra Shipping--2025/12/15
Odin 3 Ultra Shipping
Due to recent memory skyrocketing price increases and a temporary shortage in the memory supply market, the estimated shipping window of Odin 3 Ultra(24G+1TB) unfulfilled orders will be delayed to the mid of Jan 2026 unfortunately. We would like to offer 2 different options to handle this tough situation:

  1. For customers who would like to exchange their Odin3 Ultra model to Odin 3 Max which will help to get their order shipped before Christmas, we will refund the price difference accordingly after your Odin3 Max is delivered. Please email us ([email protected]) in the coming 48 hours if you want to do this model exchange;

  2. If you prefer to keep your original Odin 3 Ultra order, thanks for your patience we will keep your order as is. No further action is required from your side.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and truly appreciate your understanding and patience.

Sincerely!

selling review units, nice

tranquil kayak
#

Oof, thats a bad look

keen tulip
#

a shocking number of reviewers do this

#

including some associated with this discord directly, afaik

tranquil kayak
#

Well I'm glad I dont follow them. Scalping is scumbag behavior, scalping a free unit is worse

kindred crypt
#

fwiw selling review units after you are done with them I think is perfectly normal

#

not everyone wants to hoard devices they won't use

#

scalping for a higher price than retail is another matter though

worldly sail
keen tulip
#

and especially when they got it for free

#

a reviewer could resell their device at or below MSRP and still turn a profit

#

fwiw I think the RH reviewer who resells their devices does generally sell for near list price

#

also full disclosure there's a part of me considering picking up a used Steam Deck OLED in the meantime and possibly immediately reselling my Odin 3 Ultra upon delivery if I end up not needing it

wary matrix
#

weren't these listings all still sealed? kek

keen tulip
#

yeah, I don't think these listings are review units

#

review units were all Maxes, not Ultras, afaik

kindred crypt
keen tulip
#

some were mismarked as Pro but I believe they were all actually Maxes

weary kernel
#

quick search in the odin 3 shipping channel on the AYN server shows there were a couple days in the last week when ultra models were being shipped

tranquil kayak
# kindred crypt not everyone wants to hoard devices they won't use

Sure, but there are several other options. Toddtronics did a charity auction, the RH guys are doing a community giveaway, you can gift stuff to friends and family.

There's already a financial incentive to give positive reviews to devices just to get a free unit of the next device. This is an unfortunate aspect of reviews in general because most people cant afford to purchase every device in order to make a review. Sellling a device after giving a review also creates a financial incentive to tell their community that it's a good device and then make a profit off of the people who valued their opinion. This is, in my opinion, worse than getting paid to do a review.

This was a sealed unit, so it's obviously not a review unit. Still a scalper though

#

selling at market price doesnt really mean scalping. ebay takes 12.5%

#

i try to avoid ebay in order to give someone a better deal.

#

(i am not a reviewer, i am just saying personally when i sell stuff)

tranquil kayak
#

Again, different standards. I have no issues with someone buying a device, reviewing it, and then selling it. But when it was given to someone for free, it's a different situation.

tidal oak
#

I personally don't see the issue.

#

but we can agree to disagree

I've put my fingers on the nakey plastic and not seeing any smudges, however, I've found that's never really a problem for me, so I think I'm just less oily than some lol

Which Anbernic do ya have?

unfortunately no, but that plastic does look like its great against fingerprints

a transparent black 28xx and a solid black 34xx

novel panther
#

Oh wait transparent? No idea

jagged grail
#

i have a solid black 34xx too, its good enough for my fingerprint/oils

#

just havent seen much black odin 3 reviews/vids on youtube so i couldnt tell the plastic quality for sure

novel panther
#

I'd say it'll be a step above the cheaper Anbernic devices for sure. And it feels way more premium than the smooth plastic of the black RG556

jagged grail
#

sounds promising, my only real problem with odin2 when playing is it leaves fingerprint/oil marks eventually

Can you put your ISP's router into modem mode and use your own wifi router? That's what I did to get wifi 7

I really should but for that I'd have to buy a router. 😄

Well at least get a router that gives you the 5GHz band lol

versed pebble

The only devices I use on my home wifi are my handhelds (once, for scraping) aaaaaand
 that's it.

You don't even need wifi 6 for that

#

I guess youtube, movies, tv shows, etc are all fine at 2.4Ghz speeds, even at 4K

Actually I should ask my ISP to upgrade my box.

Decoding time should not be affected by network if I understand it correctly (network latency is shown in a different line, in your case 4ms)

novel panther
#

I did think it might be an issue at first, but it feels smooth af to play, and sometimes the value does go to 0.01 (I've even seen 0.02!), and if I try to use a higher bitrate than needed, it gets to around 0.34

Man I really don't like the smooth feel of this grip. I think I prefer using it without, even if it's less ergonomic, just cause the Odin 3's plastic feels so much nicer than the TPU

This is like the exact opposite of the Portal and its grip

And the built-in grips of the Odin 3 are textured like an RP5 and they feel really good in the hand, if only they were a bit bigger!
