AMD's powerful Strix Halo chip has been stuffed inside a handheld gaming PC, and it only requires carrying a battery in a backpack

AMD's Strix Halo is a beefy chip with superb CPU performance (according to our testing), but I thought it was a bit too power hungry and pricey to slap into a gaming handheld. Well, me just a few days ago was a fool, as GPD has announced just that. There's just one catch— It doesn't really function as you'd expect a gaming handheld to.

YouTube creator The Phawx (via The Verge) has pointed out that the GPD Win 5 is packed with that chip, plus a 7-inch 120 Hz VRR display. It can come with either the AI Max 395 or 385 chip, with both sporting the same 45-75 W TDP. This TDP has largely been the problem with trying to get Strix Halo in a handheld previously, as other handhelds can operate at a very low TDP.
