GPD WIN 2 is a Handheld Game Console Powered by an Intel Core m3-7Y30 Processor
GPD Win was a Windows 10 portable game console powered by an Intel Cherry Trail processor launched in Indiegogo in early 2016, that managed to raise over $700,000 from nearly 2,300 backers.
The company has been teasing an update for a while now, powered by an Intel Core m3-7Y30 processor with 8GB RAM, a 128GB M.2 SSD, and has just launched it on Indiegogo where it has raised close to $600,000 from almost 1,000 backers in the first few hours.
GPD WIN 2 external design has gone through some tweaks, but it’s mostly the same as the first model except it’s larger with a 6″ instead of 5.5″ and some buttons have been moved around, but the real differences can be found under the hood:
SoC – Intel Core m3-7Y30 dual core quad thread Kaby Lake processor @ 1.00/2.60 GHz (burst frequency) with 24EU Intel HD graphics 615 @ up to 300/900MHz; 4.5W TDP
System Memory – 8GB LPDDR3-1866
Storage – 128 M.2 2242 SSD (replaceable), micro SD card
Display – 6″ capacitive touch IPS screen; 1280×720 resolution; Corning Gorilla Glass 4; H-IPS technology
Video Output – micro HDMI 1.4, or DP 1.2 via USB-C port
Audio – Via micro HDMI, 3.5mm headset jack, built-in microphone and dual speaker
Connectivity – Dual band WiFi 802.11 b/g/n/ac up to 867 Mbps, and Bluetooth 4.2
USB – 1x USB 3.0 port, 1x USB 3.0 type C port with DP Al mode supports
HID – QWERTY keyboard with DPAD, two ALPS Joysticks (including one acting a mouse when needed), ABXY controls, volume and gaming buttons
Sensors – Hall effect sensor
Misc – Power LED, double vibration motor, active cooling (i.e. fan)
Power Supply – 12V/2A via USB type C port
Battery – 2x 4,900 mAh Li-Po battery in series, good for 6 to 8 hours
Dimensions – 162 x 99 x 25 mm
Weight – 460 grams
The console will ships with a power adapter, a warranty card, and specification sheet. GPD WIN 2 runs Windows 10 Home 64-bit and is said to support AAA games including GTA5, Heroes of the Storm, World of Warcraft, etc… as long as you run them at low quality settings. Nevertheless, the new GPD Win 2 is a big improvement of GPD Win as framerate often doubles, or even triples in many games.
The company has already sent out beta units, and we already have early reviews such as the one uploaded by The Phawx which discusses performance, thermal design, video output, Linux support, replacing the battery, and so on. Overall a rather positive review. You’ll also find games demo on his channel, as well as Mobimaniak3000 channel.
Intel Core m3 processors are not exactly know for their cheap, but the doubling/tripling of performance, also comes with a doubling of the price, with GPD Win 2 game console going for $599 initially for the first 1,000 units. But that’s now gone and price is now $649. Shipping is planned for May 2018 with free worldwide delivery.

Pocket 3 with upgraded CPU and RAM, same price, Thunderbolt 4 support, and GPD G1 compatibility
The Pocket 3 low-end model now features an upgraded Intel Pentium Gold 7505 processor. Compared to the 10th Gen Pentium Silver N6000, the 11th Gen Pentium Gold 7505 is a 2-core, 4-thread processor. While single-core performance is slightly better, multi-core performance remains largely the same. Memory support has been upgraded to LPDDR4x 3733 (which can be manually adjusted to LPDDR4x 4266 in the BIOS), offering increased bandwidth compared to the previous generation.

GPD DUO Application Scenarios!
Now there are more and more platforms, and the development environment is becoming more and more complex. Developers are no longer limited to a certain operating system, because cross-platform development involves testing on multiple operating systems, and also involves cross-platform programming languages. For example, a certain application has both a PC version, an Android version, a Mac version, and a Linux version. It not only involves multiple operating systems, but also involves the

GPD DUO ports and configuration, a bit of a brain-burner, but will definitely let you understand where it is better than its competitors!
With a NPU computing power of 50 TOPS, it is 5 TOPS higher than Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite and 12 TOPS higher than Apple M4 (10-CPU), making it the strongest NPU in the current rankings. AMD's new XDNA 2 architecture NPU is 3 times the computing power of the previous generation NPU. Combined with CPU and GPU, the total computing power is as high as 80 TOPS, far exceeding the 40 TOPS computing power standard of AI PCs. The Oculink (SFF-8612) female port integrated in GPD DUO provides PCIe direc
