The GPD Win 4 gaming handheld has been refreshed for 2025, promising to shake up the handheld gaming market with its powerful new internals. Central to its upgrades is the inclusion of the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, setting it up as a formidable rival to contemporaries like the OneXFly F1 Pro and Ayaneo 3. The Win 4 will also share the stage with future devices featuring the high-performance Ryzen Z2 Extreme APU.
While the processor upgrade is the highlight, the majority of the design and features remain consistent with the 2024 version. The 2025 model keeps its 6-inch display with a 60 Hz refresh rate, maintaining the familiar form factor and cooling system from last year. An important feature retained is the OCuLink port, which allows users to boost their gaming experience through an external GPU, though the new Radeon 890M integrated graphics should provide ample performance on its own.
In terms of sheer graphical prowess, the RDNA 3.5-based Radeon 890M iGPU significantly outpaces the previous generation’s Radeon 780M—outperforming it by 7-18% in gaming benchmarks. This puts the Win 4 ahead of last year’s popular options like the ROG Ally and Legion Go, making it a compelling choice for gamers seeking better graphics.
Despite these advancements, the battery remains a 45.62Wh unit. However, thanks to the efficiency improvements associated with the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, users can expect longer battery life compared to the 2024 model. Other specifications include a hefty 32 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, a spacious 2 TB PCIe 4.0 storage, and support for WiFi 6.
As for the cost, the 2025 GPD Win 4 is open for pre-orders on Indiegogo priced at $1,172. This is a noticeable increase from the 2024 model, which sold for $851 with the Ryzen 7 8840U. This price bump reflects the general trend of higher prices across the new Strix Point product line.
The freshly updated Win 4 positions itself as a premium option for gamers who want cutting-edge performance in a portable package. Its blend of next-gen processing power and proven design could make it a must-have for 2025’s gaming enthusiasts.
