GPD Unveils First AMD Strix Halo Handheld Gaming PC with Ryzen AI Max+ 395 Performance Demo

Sure, here it goes:

—

Spotted something wild today—GPD’s teasing their new portable gizmo, packed with the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395. Anyway, there’s a short clip floating around where someone’s messing around with Black Myth: Wukong. Crazy thing is, the game’s pulling somewhere between 170 to 212 fps. No joke. Okay, we didn’t get a detailed chart or anything, but still. Nuts, right?

Oh and there’s this tweet—something about the GPD WIN 5 making its grand entry at Chinajoy 2025. Wait, yeah, July 24 or something. So, AMD’s been flaunting these Strix Halo chips since CES 2025. Zen 5 and RDNA 3.5 graphics and a crazy new memory thing that screams 256 GB/s. This is premium handheld material, but it was all rumors till now.

GPD just dropped this “breaking news” with minimal detail, of course. It’s like a sneak peek where stats drift over the video—processor temp, clock speeds, CPU power, fps. You get me? Just hit pause and squint, and you’ll see. Anyway, the processor’s chilling at 65 degrees C while the CPU slurps around 55W to 58W. Cannot make this up. The Radeon 8060S iGPU’s clock’s around 2.5 GHz too. Wukong game’s galloping at 170-212fps. What a rollercoaster.

The controls, man. Talk about mystery. Dug out the video and fiddled with Photoshop—bam, there they were. Left side? Thumbstick, D-pad, buttons, a speaker? I guess. Right side? More buttons, another stick. Tiny touchpad lurking like a ninja maybe?

These Ryzen chips might empty wallets quicker than you think. It’s probably tough to make, like 4nm scale at TSMC? Yeah, basic economics, right?

Price aside, this could easily be a top-tier gaming device if it lives up to the hype. The GPD WIN 5 is set to dazzle us at ChinaJoy 2025, starting August 1. Mark the date! More intel and hopefully some sticker prices coming then. Stay tuned!
