Overview

  • The Win 5 is built around AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395 ‘Strix Halo’ APU with 16 cores, 32 threads and a 40-CU Radeon 8060S iGPU driving sustained TDPs of 55–75 W.
  • Official specifications reveal a 7-inch 1080p 120 Hz IPS display, up to 128 GB of LPDDR5X memory, support for 4 TB NVMe SSD alongside microSD and mini-SSD slots, USB4 and Wi-Fi 6E.
  • To manage its power, GPD outfitted the handheld with a Frostwind cooling system featuring dual fans and four heat pipes, complemented by a detachable 80 Wh battery pack and a 180 W ‘AI PC’ adapter.
  • Manufacturer-sourced synthetic benchmarks claim the Win 5 outpaces NVIDIA’s RTX 4060 Mobile, though these results stem from limited leaks and have yet to be verified by independent testing.
  • Arriving in September with pricing anticipated below $2,000, the Win 5 enters a niche market alongside other high-power handhelds from Ayaneo and DIY builders.
