GPD Win 3 handheld gaming PC CPU upgraded.
♞ Coming up on 9TO5Linux ♞
The GPD Win 3 is a handheld gaming computer with a 5.5 inch touchscreen display surrounded
by built-in game controllers, a slide-out capacitive touch keyboard, and an Intel Tiger
Lake processor.
When GPD began taking orders for the Win 3 earlier this year it was available with choice
of Intel Core i5-1135G7 or Intel Core i7-1165G7 processors. But now the company has announced
that it’s upgrading the higher-end model to a Core i7-1195G7 chip.
GPD says backers of the Win 3 crowdfunding campaign who ordered a model with a Core i7-1165G7
processor but whose devices have not yet shipped will automatically be upgraded to a Core i7-1195G7
processor.
Or if you didn’t back the campaign, you can order a new GPD Win 3 with a Core i7-1195G7
processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. It’s available from AliExpress for $1125.
While GPD is phasing out the Core i7-1165G7 model, it’s likely that it will take a while
for other stores that stock the computer to sell through remaining inventory, so prices
and availability will likely vary from retailer to retailer.
The new processor is based on the same Tiger Lake architecture, but it has higher CPU and
graphics frequencies, which should deliver slightly better performance in some situations.

An update has been published to the Win 3 crowdfunding campaign explaining that the
GPD Win 3 handheld gaming PC will be receiving a Core i7-1195G7 upgrade for the higher end
version. Previously it was available with a choice of Intel Core i5-1135G7 or Intel
Core i7-1165G7 and now the Core i7 version will be pushed even higher.
If you missed out on the crowdfunding campaign you can still order the GPD Win 3 with a Core
i7-1195G7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD priced at 1125 from online retailers such
as AliExpress.
“WIN 3 features a 5.5-inch sliding bright screen, NTSC: 84% (typ), resolution 1280×720,
268PPI, and adopts Corning’s fifth-generation Gorilla Glass, DC dimming, so there is no
need to worry about the graininess of the screen. If you own or have used a WIN 1, you
should be able to have a better understanding of the experience with this screen size compared
to new users. In fact, the 5.5-inch screen size of WIN 1 is the most used and reputable
in gaming handheld even today!”
Connections on the GPD Win 3 handheld gaming PC
– 3 USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports, up to 10Gbps; – 1 USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C interface, up to
10Gbps; – 1 HDMI 2.0b interface, bandwidth up to
18Gbps, supports up to 32 channels, 48bit maximum color depth, and supports HDR;
– 1 RJ45 network port, 10/100/1000Mbps self-adaptive network card.
“The main body of WIN 3 still adopts LG-DOW 121H aviation-grade ABS synthetic resin, with
Rockwell hardness of 109R and bending strength of 26,000kg/cm2. On the grey version the front
side and the lateral sides are silver-gray matte spray, without reflection and with great
texture.
WIN 3’s protruding ALPS original dual 3D big rocker has large stroke, large swing distance,
low resistance, sacrificing a little bit of responsiveness but greatly improves accuracy.
For example in a fighting game, the smoothness is comparable to those of Japan’s top joysticks
Seimitsu and Sanwa, and it natively supports L3/R3 functions.”
