Let’s dive into what makes this handheld PC a must-have for gaming enthusiasts.
A new CPU
At the heart of the GPD WIN 4 2025 lies the AMD Ryzen 9 AI HX 370 processor, a significant upgrade from its predecessor.

Built on AMD’s latest architecture, the Ryzen 9 AI HX 370 boasts higher clock speeds, improved thermal management, and enhanced AI-driven optimization for demanding tasks and games. We recently checked out this CPU in our GPD Duo review and forthcoming GPD Pocket 4 and we can safely say it is a great improvement on the 8840U CPU.
This processor isn’t just about raw power; it’s designed to revolutionize multitasking. Gamers can expect smoother performance when gaming, running multiple applications, or leveraging AI-enhanced features. The HX 370’s Radeon 890M GPU capabilities also ensure a superior experience for graphically intensive games, pushing the boundaries of what handheld PCs can achieve.
