The GPD Win 4 will mainly receive a higher-specced Ryzen 7 8840U processor versus its current 7840U, but besides adding some AI hardware, the CPUs should perform nearly identically.

It's the same AI hardware, running at higher clocks. I can't imagine it mattering for a gaming handheld unless we start seeing upscaling techniques that use an NPU if present. Microsoft may do that, but it's still too early to say.

According to GPD, the five-watt bump to the USB4 / Thunderbolt 4 charging port on the GPD G1 was so that the device could appropriately charge specific devices with higher power demands, like certain Microsoft Surface and Lenovo laptop models.

I was surprised how well the 780M graphics holds up against the RX580. (Ancient gameplay did a comparison).

That said it is still dog slow on modern games. Some are running 30fps or slower on low settings.
