The Odin Lite is significantly different however, as its lower pricing suggests. While the 8GB RAM upgrade may open up some more complex emulation tasks and make the interface a little snappier, and the battery capacity eke out a couple more hours of gaming, the overall experience between the Pro and Base will be largely identical – even the storage limitations can be leveled out by adding a microSD card to each. The Base has 4GB of LPDDR4x RAM, while the Pro has 8GB the Base has 64GB of internal storage, while the pro has 128GB the Base has a 5,000mAh battery, the Pro has a 6,000mAh battery. The main differences between the Base and the Pro sit with storage size, RAM and battery capacities. But there is a gyroscopic sensor, surprisingly – handy for those rare gaming apps that support it. And while the internal similarities to a phone are apparent, don’t go expecting to make calls with the Ayn Odin – there’s no cellular connectivity here, nor camera. It’s the same processor you’ll find in the Google Pixel 3, Razer Phone 2 or Samsung Galaxy S9 – an older chipset, but one still with bundles of power, and whose limitations will rarely be troubled by what the Odin uses them to focus on. They share a processor in the quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset, backed with an Adreno 630 GPU. The Odin Base and Pro editions are similar, both based on a modified build of Android 10. Ayn is being incredibly competitive here. Looking at direct competition, the spec-to-price performance of the Ayn Odin Pro far outstrips that of the Anbernic RG552, as great as that device is. If you’re interested in any of the Odin builds then, it may be worth pulling the trigger now on those early-bird pricing offers, which are particularly good. At the time of writing, these pre-release perk price options are still available, so we’re going to list both the pre-release and retail prices below:Įarly-bird price: $HKD1,150 ($147 / £147)Įarly-bird price: $HKD1,870 ($240 / £177)Įarly-bird price: $HKD2,251 ($288 / £213)įocussing on the Odin Pro that this review is based on, and taking a look at the similarly-specced Google Pixel 3XL, this is a fair price – perhaps even generous, given the physical gaming controls built in here, and larger RAM allowance. There are three models available (Lite, Base and Pro), and each had discounted pre-release pricing to encourage backers. (Image credit: Future) Price and availabilityĪfter successfully completing an IndieGoGo crowdfunding campaign, the Ayn Odin is now shipping to backers ahead of a full retail release. All the other games that are on this one just fly at max across the board, pretty happy with it for what it is.Doom running on the Xbox Game Pass app. it's actually playable at max settings at a passable framerate now versus having to scale it way back (and still pokey) from the old C2D. Video card didn't change but the CPU upgrade made a huge difference. there's a few exceptions though, GW2 seems to be very CPU bound, just not optimized very well i guess. I agree though about gaming and CPU's, most of them don't really notice a big difference anymore. but like I said it was picked for it's price, saved a couple hundred and this one isn't for gaming primarily anyway but a workstation that I happen to occasionally game on. Even noticed the difference on other systems here, the Intel CPU's just seem to have more horsepower versus the AMD's, at least with the particular ones I have. This system's FX6300 4.1GHz 6 core is just a hair under (benchmark wise) your Core-i5 3.2GHz 4 core CPU, even with 2 extra cores and almost 1GHz faster. 89.6).Īhh was referring to the CPU when I mentioned the differences between these two systems. I've noticed a trend where the performance of the CPU matters less and less.Īnyway, here are the speeds. As for your CPU, it isn't that big of a deal with a game like Battlefield 4. The fact that mine is clocked higher than yours makes a difference too. This time last year it was running a Core2Duo as well, those guts are now running a WAMP/Rails/Django/etc server. Visual Studio 2013 and IntelliJ flies on the thing, good enough for me. but for the price (dirt cheap) I'm not complaining. CPU (AMD Vishera 6300) is overclocked to 4.1GHz (not bad with the stock cooler), looking at Yusuf's shot above it shows the difference between an Intel and AMD CPU's performance. GPU is just a single HD 7870, it's not overclocked either, using the stock GPU cooler so not going to mess with it on this system. Mostly used as a development workstation, most of my gaming is done on a different system which I'll benchmark later. The system I'm on at the moment is an older system that gets upgraded every so often, consider it a healthy mid-range frankenbuild, nothing spectacular but it games reasonably well all things considered.
