GPD Now Switching Intel to AMD Ryzen APU: Report Says

The last time we caught up with GPD, the company had tweeted out a few vague schematics of its forthcoming Win 2 Max handheld gaming PC, fueling reports that the company was switching from Intel chips to AMD’s Ryzen. GPD has had a strong history of using Intel’s Atom processors, such as Cherry Trail, for its thin and small PCs. Now, according to images found by the sharp-eyed folks at lilputing, those rumors appear to be confirmed.

GPD has a unique position in the market with its Win and Pocket series of products & the newly leaked images of the upcoming Win Max show the board using what looks like a Ryzen Embedded V1000-series APU, which is found in the upcoming Smach Z, a much smaller, yet similar handheld gaming device.

Judging by the size of the device (which seems like a larger 3DS) and its battery, it’s likely this processor won’t be running at a very high TDP, meaning performance will be significantly lower than on typical laptops, but it will almost certainly be faster than an Atom-based processor. And possibly more power efficient as well.
