Hardware Specifications and Performance

The system is powered by an AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 processor with ten cores and twenty threads. While some reports suggested the integration of the Radeon 890M, the device actually uses the RDNA 3.5 Radeon 880M iGPU. Supporting hardware includes 32 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM and a 1 TB M.2 SSD. With a TDP of 54 W, the Piston V can run most modern games at 1080p resolution. These frame rates are typically achieved through low graphics settings and FSR technology.
