TL;DR
- The AYN Odin 3 was touted as the first handheld with the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor.
- However, AYN has now changed the chipset name from the Snapdragon 8 Elite to the Qualcomm Dragonwing Q8.
- This chipset seems virtually identical to the Elite processor, down to the same CPU and GPU.
AYN launched the Odin 3 late last year, and it was positioned as the first gaming handheld with the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. However, it turns out the Odin 3 technically isn’t equipped with this chip after all.
An AYN representative recently asked Retro Handhelds to make changes to their articles covering the Odin 3. The manufacturer requested that the name of the handheld’s chipset be changed from the Snapdragon 8 Elite to the Dragonwing Q8. It’s believed that Qualcomm asked AYN to make the change.
