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

Alright, so there I was, minding my own business, and boom—GPD throws out this teaser. A video, right? Shows this handheld PC thing with some fancy AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 chip. Honestly, the name alone could send anyone into a nap. But hey, people dig this stuff.

Picture this: you’re playing some game—I dunno, Black Myth: Wukong or whatever—and the thing’s hitting like 170 to 212 fps. Crazy, right? And I gotta admit, no flashy chart or anything, just raw video action.

Oh, and there’s this tweet—GPD WIN 5’s supposed to pop up at Chinajoy 2025. Mark your calendars or whatever.

Now, let’s talk about this AMD chip. It first showed face at the start of the year at CES 2025; the cool kids are calling it ‘Strix Halo’ or something. It’s got these RDNA 3.5 graphics and Zen 5 cores, which sounds like something Spider-Man would use, but it’s just tech, folks. The nerds are probably drooling over the 256 GB/s bandwidth. Again, bananas.

So GPD drops this bomb, but they’re like, super secretive. We get a few stats—we’re talking processor temp, iGPU clock speed, CPU power consumption, fps performance. Yeah, I totally sound like I know what I’m saying.

Anyway—or hang on, am I jumping around too much?—the video’s a tease, really. The processor’s chilling at 65 degrees C, which I guess is cool for handhelds. Their ‘CPU Power’ bounces between 55W and 58W. Fancy words for “it works.”

Expectations? The controls are in the shadows. We fiddled with Photoshop, messed around with the brightness like some modern-day Picasso, and boom—hello, controls. It’s the usual suspects—thumb sticks, D-pad, action buttons. Oh, a speaker grille because, why not.

To the right, more of the same, maybe a teeny touchpad hiding there like a sneaky ninja. Heck, could be imagining things.

Here’s another thing—the Ryzen AI Max+ chips have flirted with tablets and mini PCs before, but man, they cost a fortune. Probably some 4nm silicon thing, and, you know, capitalism.

So, expensive, yes—cool? Probably. GPD’s aiming for the stars with this WIN 5 thing. It might just be boss of handhelds. You’ll see the full reveal at ChinaJoy on August 1. Let’s hope they spill all the beans on pricing.
