Alright, so here’s the lowdown on this gadget venture. GPD’s been hinting at their flashy new handheld wonder since, what, late summer? July-ish? And then boom, they rolled it out at that big tech bash, ChinaJoy in Shanghai. Chinese creators are losing their minds over this thing, putting it through every test imaginable. Honestly, it’s like tech geeks in a candy store. This guy, Jobs_Bao, ran the Win 5 through some serious hoops on the expo floor, like Cinebench R23 and Time Spy benchmarks. Those test names sound like sci-fi stuff, right? Yeah, but they’re legit.
So, it scored 30,495 in Cinebench. Apparently, that’s desktop-beefy, like an Intel Core i9-13900HX. Whatever that means—basically, it’s powerful. And even when it was roaring at 80.3 degrees Celsius inside, the vents were all “Nah, we’re just chillin’ at 45 degrees.” Fans were buzzing at 95dB, which is like, loud but not jet-engine loud. Convenient, right?
Graphics-wise, it got 9,680 in Time Spy. I guess that’s close enough to the fancy RTX 4060? Anyway, GPD sorta hobbled the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 power to just 70 watts, even though it could handle up to 120 watts. Odd choice, but hey, it’s their party. It’ll still play games on Ultra at 1080p, no sweat. Another creator, PureDIY, fired up Black Myth: Wukong on this bad boy and raved about the buttery 80 FPS. Sounds intense.
Now, let’s chat about this funky battery. It’s got a chunky 5,170mAh unit that you can slap on and yank off as you please. It adds a bit of beef (like 340 grams), but who cares? Being able to swap it on the go ain’t bad. And if you’re tethered to the ginormous 180-watt charger, leave the battery off. DIY, baby.
GPD Win 5 offers two flavors: a top-shelf version with AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and Radeon 8060S, packing up to 128GB memory. Then there’s the budget-friendly one with Ryzen AI Max 385 and a Radeon 8050S. No clue on the prices yet. Waiting with bated breath.
That’s all the nitty-gritty. If you wanna stay in the loop with Tom’s Hardware, they’re all over Google News. They spill the tea on all things tech, and it’s worth clicking that Follow button. Trust me.
