These charts compare x86 handheld gaming consoles using modeled gaming performance and battery-life estimates. Values are estimates aggregated across many games. Each entry identifies the hardware variant; operating-system details are available in the device specifications. Different configurations of the same handheld may appear separately. The rankings cover these two aspects rather than overall value or a recommendation for every game.
Choose 10 W, 15 W, 20 W, 25 W, 30 W, 45 W or Max in each chart. Both charts start at 15 W, and their power selectors work independently. Select the same power level in both charts when comparing performance with battery life.
Handheld gaming performance ranking
Performance is shown as a relative percentage, with 100% representing the fastest modeled configuration in the selected power group. Higher values indicate higher estimated gaming performance. These percentages are not frame rates, and each power group has its own reference: a score of 100% at 15 W does not mean the same absolute performance as 100% at 30 W.
Jump to the battery-life chart
Estimates based on aggregated results across many games. Max uses each device's maximum APU power, shown beside its name.
Handheld gaming battery-life ranking
Battery life is shown in hours and minutes of estimated gaming time at the selected APU power level, rounded to the nearest minute. Higher values mean longer modeled runtime. These are estimates rather than measured battery-test results; actual runtime depends on the game, frame-rate limit, display settings, operating system and other device settings.
Estimates based on aggregated results across many games. Max uses each device's maximum APU power, shown beside its name.
How to read the handheld charts
The wattage is the configured APU power limit, not the total power draw of the handheld. The display, memory and other components also use energy, so dividing battery capacity by the selected wattage does not give the gaming runtime shown here.
Max compares each configuration at its own maximum APU power. The wattage appears beside its name in that view. Because those limits differ, Max is not a comparison at equal power.
Configurations without an available positive estimate at a selected power level are omitted from that chart. An absent entry does not mean zero performance or zero battery life. Use the chart comparison controls to inspect relative differences, and select a device name to see its specifications.
