IT Home reports that handheld manufacturer GPD has announced an upgraded version of the Win Max 2 handheld gaming console sporting AMD's latest Zen 4-based mobile CPU, the Ryzen 7 8840U. However, CPU-Z benchmarks from GPD reveal that the upgraded handheld PC is not much quicker than its 7840U-equipped predecessor, to the point where there is virtually no performance difference between the two chips CPU-wise (at least, in the Win Max 2 chassis).
In the CPU-Z results, the new Ryzen 7 8840U unit scored 664.2 points in the single-core test and 5,628.3 points in the multi-core benchmark. Compare this to the older 7840U variant‘s score of 662 points and 5488.4 points in the single and multi-core benchmarks. In other words, the newer chip is less than 3% quicker overall. The same applies to the AVX-512 CPU-Z benchmark as well. The newer 8840U is just 2.3% quicker than the 7840U at best.
