Forget the Steam Deck, this 12.5-inch handheld can play games at 4K 100FPS
The handheld's display is 12.5 inches with a 4K resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels.
It's capable of running God of War (2016) in 4K resolution at 100FPS.
Handheld gaming PCs are getting more powerful all the time. However, they still can't replace the level of performance you get from a full-on gaming laptop. Or can they? One modder has taken that idea and put it to the test.
A Bilibili creator who goes by Qingchen DIY has built a giant 12.5-inch handheld gaming PC (h/t El Chapuzas Informatico). But it's not the size that's impressive, it's the fact that the modder fitted it with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU. Along with that high-end GPU, there's also a 24-core Intel Core i9-14900HX CPU. The system is also equipped with a 12.5-inch IPS touch display with a 4K resolution (3,840 x 2,160 pixels), 64GB of DDR5 RAM, and 2TB of storage.
It's safe to say that the power behind this device easily surpasses the top names in the market, like Valve's Steam Deck and ASUS' ROG Ally X. You could even say this system is more of a laptop that was simply converted into a handheld. But what can this beast of a handheld actually do?
In the video, the modder shows the device running Cyberpunk 2077 in 4K resolution at 60FPS. That's not bad considering that other handhelds tend to struggle running the title at just 1080p, with upscaling technologies helping out. What's even more impressive is that at one point, the modder shows the device running God of War (2016) in 4K at above 100FPS.
As you can imagine, this is likely a pretty power-hungry device. It appears this device relies on an external power source. However, it does also have a built-in 50Wh battery.
While it would be fun to give this system a try, we'll probably stick with our Steam Deck. A 12.5-inch handheld would be a bit unwieldy for most hands.

Ansys collaborates with Nvidia to embed Omniverse in simulation solutions
Ansys, a unit of Synopsys, has entered into an agreement with Nvidia to incorporate Nvidia Omniverse technology into its autonomous vehicle simulation solutions. This integration will commence with Ansys' computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and autonomous vehicle solutions, providing customers with direct access to Omniverse's technologies as well as libraries. The collaboration aims to enhance the understanding of vehicle aerodynamics, improve autonomous vehicle safety, and contribute to the development of 6G connectivity. The technology of Ansys leverages Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD) for integration with Omniverse, facilitating accessible workflows across various simulation applications. The agreement also makes sure that diverse computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools can work together, providing a unified workflow essential for large-scale CFD applications. Engineers will benefit from the ability to visualise fluid dynamics in realistic digital environments, which aids in the intuitive analysis of complex data and accelerates the design optimisation process. Furthermore, the integration provides 'high-fidelity outputs' that streamline the development, training, testing, and validation of autonomous systems, enhancing their reliability and safety. Additionally, PyAnsys, a suite of Python packages, offers users the flexibility to customise and automate simulations within their applications built on Nvidia Omniverse, noted Ansys. In March 2025, Magna, a mobility technology company, announced a partnership with Nvidia to create AI-driven solutions for the next generation of software-defined vehicles, focusing on intelligence and autonomy.

Pony AI ramps up Gen-7 robotaxi fleet production
Pony AI is advancing its autonomous vehicle production, with over 200 Gen-7 robotaxi models already manufactured in partnership with Guangzhou Automobile Group (GAC) and Beijing Automotive Industry Corporation (BAIC). The company says it is on a clear trajectory to reach its goal of a 1,000-vehicle fleet by the end of 2025. Pony AI reported a net loss of 381.6m yuan ($53.3m) for the second quarter (Q2) 2025, which is an increase from the $30.9m loss in the previous year period. The non-GAAP net loss also grew to $46.1m from $30.3m year-over-year (YoY). The loss from operations widened to $61.3m in the quarter, up from $37.0m in the previous year's quarter. However, Pony AI has seen a 75.9% increase in total revenues to $21.5m (153.7m yuan) in Q2 2025, compared to the same period in the previous year. This growth has been largely attributed to the substantial rise in robotaxi services revenues, which soared by 157.8% to $1.5m (10.9m yuan). The company attributes this to the expanding user adoption, heightened demand in tier-one cities, and an enlarged fleet of robotaxi vehicles. Furthermore, fare-charging revenues have surged by over 300% YoY. In terms of partnerships, Pony AI has entered into a strategic agreement with Shenzhen Xihu to jointly deploy over 1,000 Gen-7 robotaxis in Shenzhen in the coming years. This move is expected to significantly enhance the company's service offerings and market presence. Additionally, the company has secured testing permits for its Gen-7 robotaxis in all four tier-one cities in China, which is a critical step towards wider public-facing commercial deployment. Pony AI has also launched fully driverless commercial robotaxi services in Shanghai's Pudong New Area and extended service coverage to 24/7 in select regions of Guangzhou and Shenzhen to meet increasing user demand. Internationally, Pony AI is partnering with Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) aimed at integrating its autonomous driving technology into Dubai's future transportation network. The collaboration will begin with supervised robotaxi trials in late this year. The company's operational footprint extends to South Korea, where it has secured nationwide permits and is navigating complex urban traffic in Seoul's Gangnam district, including during challenging winter conditions. Road testing in Luxembourg has also commenced in partnership with Emile Weber, further showcasing Pony AI's commitment to expanding its global reach. CEO and chairman Dr James Peng said, 'Since mass production started two months ago, over 200 Gen-7 Robotaxi vehicles have rolled off the production line, putting us firmly on track to hit the year-end 1,000-vehicle target. 'Our robust Robotaxi revenues more than doubled, with fare-charging revenues surging by over 300% year-over-year. The path toward positive unit economics is also clear, as we made substantial improvements in key cost items such as remote assistance and vehicle insurance.'
