He GPD Win Max It’s positioned as one of the best contenders Valve’s Steam Deck has, though its commitment to Windows may hinder what it can offer due to the greater hardware demands of Microsoft’s system. Preferences aside, everything seems to point to a 2023 generation of top-of-the-line GPD mini-PCs that aim to use APUs. AMD Ryzen 7 7840U “Phoenix” with integrated RDNA 3 graphics.

The possible existence of GPD Win Max 2023 has been revealed thanks to leaked benchmarks performed with Geekbench 5 and BAPCO. There they could learn details such as model, GPD G1619-04, usage Windows 11 as an operating system and the presence of an AMD Ryzen 7 7840U APU with features that at least you will have on such a device, including integrated graphics Radeon 780M.

Going deeper into the features of the APU at the processor level, it has eight physical cores, sixteen threads (two threads per core), is based on the Zen 4 processor architecture and consumes between 15 and 28 watts, while the integrated Radeon 780M graphics includes twelve compute units for a total of 768 cores and is capable of operating at a frequency higher than 2.5 GHz.

In the test done with Geekbench 5 you can see a single-core score of 281 and 1,817 in multi-core, however, there are data such as maximum frequency and memory that give strange results, so to straighten out certain points you have to look for the test done with BAPCO, which shows the data, such as usage 16 GB RAM at 7500 MHz (DDR5), 512 GB data storage capacity and 1920 x 1080 (1080p) screen resolution.

Although 1080p is considered the basic standard on computers, especially when it comes to desktop devices, It will be necessary to find out whether in this case it will not end up as a nuisance in terms of autonomy. Details such as the screen size of the alleged GPD Win Max 2023, which was 8 inches in the 2021 model year, still remain unknown.

If the leaked data is true, everything seems to indicate that the GPD Win Max 2023 is on the way with at least one variant that will feature an AMD Ryzen 7 7840U APU with RDNA 3 graphics, which should theoretically give it an advantage in this regard. regardless of the Steam Deck, but we’ll have to see the price it goes to market and whether using Windows 11 will be an inconvenience compared to SteamOS 3.
