The device will be powered by AMD’s Phoenix APU, but no details were given. XPG has implemented support for foveated rendering, which the company claims is an exclusive feature. This is courtesy of a front-facing camera with eye tracking, but it’s unclear how exactly it’ll work, since it won’t be exactly the same as in a VR headset. The NIA will ship with an XPG Gammix S55 SSD, which is an M.2 2230 PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive with sizes of up to 2 TB. XPG also claims that the NIA is built for a “circular computing product lifecycle” whatever that means, but we’re guessing it has something to do with using recycled materials and being recyclable. The screen size wasn’t mentioned, but the screen can be tilted for better ergonomics and the NIA also has a built-in kickstand.
XPG to Launch Handheld Gaming Device with LPCAMM2 Support
Handheld gaming devices are a dime a dozen these days and more and more companies are joining the fray on almost a weekly basis. At Computex, XPG was showing its upcoming handheld gaming device—currently known as the NIA—and it has several interesting features that most of their competitors haven’t mentioned so far. The potentially most interesting feature that XPG has implemented is an LPCAMM2 module with support for up to 64 GB of LPDDR5x memory. XPG didn’t list how much RAM the NIA will ship with, but 16 or 32 GB seems like the logical choices.
