Alright, here’s a wild ride of a rewrite:

So, GPD, yeah those guys who love making portable PCs, they just dropped a teaser for this freaking cool AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395-powered handheld. I mean, first glimpse, you have someone gaming on Black Myth: Wukong, but no big stat sheet in sight — typical, right? Anyway, in the clip, the gameplay hits a crazy 170 to 212 fps. Like, seriously?
And just to spill some tea, AMD’s ‘Strix Halo’ Ryzen chips, they made their grand entrance at CES 2025 — start of the year kind of vibe. The Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is sorta the big boss in the group. It jams together RDNA 3.5 graphics with Zen 5 CPU cores. Also, some out-of-this-world memory thing, pushing like 256 GB/s? Mind-blowing tech for sure, but until now? Mostly just whispers and wannabe rumors of handhelds using it.
GPD’s little “breaking news” on this WIN 5 didn’t come packed with deets. But hey, we spot some nifty stuff anyway. They love overlaying key stats on their videos. Think processor temp, iGPU clunking power, CPU munching watts, and fps racing.
Hold up, check this, during the brief sneak peek — about 20 seconds or so, if you blink, you’ll miss it — the processor sizzles around 65 degrees Celsius. Not too bad for something you can hold. CPU power swings from 55W to 58W. The iGPU, aka the Radeon 8060S, dances at around 2.5 GHz. And remember, Black Myth: Wukong at 170-212fps. Just ponder for a sec — there’s loads missing info, like graphics settings. Figure it out, right?
Okay, let’s talk GPD WIN 5 controls. After messing with a video and fiddling in Photoshop (because why not?), the setup became slightly more obvious. No big shockers on the button front. On the left, there’s apparently a thumb stick, D-pad action below, etc., etc. Oh, and some speaker grille maybe? Fascinating stuff.
On the right, under the famous action button diamond, another thumb stick stands hidden like a shy kid at a dance. Nearby are some buttons — and could be a mini touchpad, like on the Lenovo Legion GO S? That’s a guess, alright.
The Ryzen AI Max+ 395 chips were spotted in tablets/mini PCs too. Sadly, these beasts often have these giant price tags. Thanks, economics! Probably expensive to roll out at TSMC’s factory in 4nm, but who’s counting?
No matter the price tag drama, GPD WIN 5 could be a killer handheld. The big public reveal happens at ChinaJoy 2025 on August 1. Fingers crossed for more details and price gossip.
