Okay, so picture this: it’s late July and GPD’s all like, “Hey guys, check out this new AMD Strix Halo-powered handheld gadget we’ve got!” And everyone’s buzzing ‘cause they’re gonna show it off at ChinaJoy in Shanghai. Fast forward to the expo — a bunch of creators over there are poking at the new Win 5, running all these tests like it’s a lab rat. This guy, Jobs_Bao, gets his mitts on it and runs Cinebench R23 and Time Spy, spilling the results all over Bilibili.
So, here’s the kicker, amigos: it scores, like, 30,495 on Cinebench. I mean, is it me, or is that just bonkers? It’s like having one of those beefy desktop Intel Core i9-13900HXs in your pocket. And, get this — even when it’s sizzling at 80.3 degrees Celsius, the little vents up top are just chillin’ at 45 degrees. The fans sound like a jet engine though — 95dB, seriously? But hey, if it sounds like you’re in an airport, you’re doing it right, or so they say.
Switching over to graphics, it’s clocking 9,680 on Time Spy. Almost rubbing shoulders with the RTX 4060, but GPD said, “Nah, we’re capping this baby at 70 watts.” They’re holding it back like a sprinter tied to a bus stop with that AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395. Doesn’t reach the 120-watt max, sadly. But meh, still enough juice to run most games on Ultra at 1080p. This other dude, PureDIY, got it rocking Black Myth: Wukong, hitting over 80 FPS. That’s like whoa.
But let’s talk batteries, because why not? The Win 5 has this 5,170mAh beast. Oddly, it’s detachable, which made some folks scratch their heads. Adds, oh, 340 grams to the weight. Good thing? You can swap it when you’re out and about. Bad thing? Lugging that 180-watt charging brick feels like carrying a kettle.
The Win 5 comes in two flavors: one’s got the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with Radeon 8060S, and up to 128GB of memory. Then there’s the less pricey one with the Ryzen AI Max 385 and Radeon 8050S GPU. Price tag? Mystery. Nobody’s spilling the beans on that yet.
Anyway, if you’re into staying updated with all this hardware wizardry, maybe give Tom’s Hardware a follow for all the juicy scoops. Just saying.
