Okay, let’s dive into this. So, this thing, it’s called the GPD Win 5. Yeah, I know, sounds a bit like a robot hero, right? Anyway, those folks at GPD dropped some hints about it back in July, like saying, “Hey, we got this AMD Strix Halo thing coming up, and it’s gonna be wild.” And boom, they show it off at this big show in Shanghai. Now, some tech enthusiasts (do they ever sleep?) got their hands on it and went wild with tests. This guy, Jobs_Bao — interesting name, huh? — put it through its paces. Ran some benchmarks, and shared the deets online. Cinebench R23 scores and all that jazz.
So here’s the kicker, it scored 30,495 points. Yeah, numbers, but basically it’s like, “Hey, I’m as fast as your beastly desktop with Intel Core i9-13900HX.” What’s bonkers is, it did this while heating up just to 80.3 degrees Celsius. That’s hot but not scalding. Those fans, though, go loud, almost 95dB. Could wake your cat, no doubt.
Graphics-wise, Time Spy scores 9,680. Nearly matches an RTX 4060, which is nuts. There’s a catch, though—GPD capped its power at 70 watts. It’s like having a racecar and saying, “Nah, let’s cruise.” So it can’t exploit all the juice from its Radeon 8060S APU, but it’ll play your games just fine, ultra settings, 1080p. Another tech wanderer, PureDIY (fancy that), found it plays Black Myth: Wukong at a smooth 80 FPS. Dreamy, right?
Now the battery. Oh boy. It’s got 5,170mAh. Not stuffed inside but hanging on the outside like an afterthought. Makes the thing a bit hefty (340 grams kind of hefty), but the upside? Swap it whenever. Traveling light or keeping it tethered to a massive 180-watt brick — your call.
Options? Yeah, they got two: one packs the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with a hefty 128GB memory, Radeon 8060S under the hood, while the “I’m saving money” version shuffles along with Ryzen AI Max 385 and a Radeon 8050S GPU. But, uh, no word on prices yet. Guess the money part is still a mystery.
