In this in-depth #GPD WIN 5 comparison, we put the new AMD Ryzen AI Max "Strix Halo" series to the test. We rigorously compare the 8-Core Ryzen AI Max 385 against the monster 16-Core Ryzen AI Max 395 to see which handheld gaming PC offers the best value. We conduct extensive system and RDNA 3.5 gaming benchmarks across a wide range of TDP settings to determine exactly which processor fits your specific gaming needs.
You can order the GPD WIN 5 from us at DROIX. You get two years warranty and our excellent customer service.

Under the hood, these devices are powered by the impressive AMD Ryzen AI Max series, with the 385 model utilising an 8-core processor and Radeon 8050S graphics, while the 395 doubles the core count to 16 alongside Radeon 8060S graphics. While both units share identical physical features and controls, our testing reveals distinct behaviours when pushing these chips to their limits in titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Forza Horizon 5. We explore how the differing core counts impact efficiency at lower wattages versus high-performance docked play, uncovering a critical performance "sweet spot" that might surprise you before you make your final choice.
HARDWARE SPECS: Under the hood, these devices are powered by the impressive AMD Ryzen AI Max series (Zen 5 architecture):
Model 385: 8-Core Processor paired with Radeon 8050S graphics.
Model 395: 16-Core Processor paired with the powerful Radeon 8060S graphics.
