GPD Unveils AMD Strix Halo Handheld Gaming PC Featuring Ryzen AI Max+ 395 in New Performance Teaser

Sure, let me rewrite that with a more chaotic, human touch. Here we go:

You ever just stumble upon something and think, “Whoa, that’s kinda cool”? That’s exactly what went down when GPD tossed out this new teaser. It’s all about their AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395-powered handheld—snazzy, right? Anyway—oh, also, they posted a quick clip on X. Someone’s in the middle of playing Black Myth: Wukong and, not gonna lie, it looks pretty slick. There’s no fancy summary chart, but during this wild ride, the game hits between 170 and 212 fps. Crazy, huh?

So, yeah, they’re shouting about the GPD WIN 5 and plan to roll it out at ChinaJoy in 2025. Fancy event. But get this—those AMD chips, the ‘Strix Halo’ ones, made their splash at CES early this year. The Ryzen AI Max+ 395, the top dog, combines RDNA 3.5 graphics with Zen 5 CPU cores. It sounds like pure sci-fi—or maybe I’ve just watched too many space movies.

Oh right, the teaser! GPD didn’t spill much about the WIN 5, but look close enough, and they drop some geeky deets like processor temp, iGPU clock speed, and other cool specs while casually showing off the game’s performance. Always the little things, right?

Hold on, hold on—sidetracked here. They say the processor sits around 65 degrees C. Seems chill for a handheld, I’d say. The CPU power hops between 55W and 58W, keeping everything humming. And the iGPU—it’s at about 2.5 GHz. Black Myth fluctuates between 170 and 212 fps, but they totally left out what settings they’re using. Classic.

Now, the controls, that’s where the shadows come in. Some kind of high-tech shadow play, maybe? After squinting at the video and knocking up the brightness in Photoshop or something—bam! The layout kinda pops. You’d think it’d be different, but nope, usual buttons, pads, the whole shebang.

On the left, there’s a thumb stick, a D-pad below it, a few buttons, and what seems like a speaker grille. To the right, there’s your standard button layout plus some sticks. And—wait for it—probably a tiny touchpad, similar to the Lenovo Legion GO S. Tech is wild.

Now—pricing. This Ryzen AI Max+ 395 stuff has shown up in fancy tablets and mini PCs, but they usually come with a sticker shock. Supply, demand, the usual suspects. But maybe, just maybe, this GPD WIN 5 is worth the dough.

Fingers crossed they spill all the beans and price it right when ChinaJoy kicks off on August 1. We’ll see. Until then, keep an eye out or whatever, maybe hit follow on Tom’s Hardware—just throwing it out there.

How’s that?
