GPD Pocket 4 coming soon with 144 Hz display, new AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU and up to 64 GB of RAM
It seems that GPD is almost ready to replace the Pocket 3 (curr. $679.95 on Amazon), which is well over three years old at this point. Unsurprisingly, the Pocket 4 will pack a bit more of a punch than its ageing predecessor.
Based on the company's recent tweets, it still intends to offer its forthcoming device with the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 from AMD's recent Strix Point family. Thus, the Pocket 4 will have a powerful Radeon 890M iGPU at its disposal, which will power a 2,560 x 1,600-pixel and 144 Hz IPS display that spans just 8.8-inches across.
However, it now turns out that GPD will also offer the device with the AMD's older Ryzen 7 8840U APU. Presumably a way to keep the Pocket 4's starting price low, the Ryzen 7 8840U will still be considerably more powerful than the Intel Pentium Silver N6000, Pentium Gold 7505 or Core i7-1195G7 with which the Pocket 3 was available.
Added to that, GPD plans to sell the Pocket 4 with up to 64 GB of LPDDR5 RAM clocked at 7,500 MT/s. The company stresses that 64 GB of RAM SKUs may be limited to its forthcoming Indiegogo campaign though and may not reach its eventual retail release. While it has not revealed a date for the start of its crowdfunding campaign yet, we suspect it will occur before the end of the year.
