GPD Win 4 2023 refresh announced with AMD Ryzen 7040U APUs and OcuLink port

GPD has announced a refresh of the Win 4, its PSP Vita lookalike. To recap, the company started selling the original Win 4 in December with the Ryzen 7 6800U, an APU with eight Zen 3+ CPU cores and a Radeon 680M iGPU. GPD took until late March or early April to deliver Win 4 units to Indiegogo backers though, which were then discovered to suffer from display stuttering issues.

As the likes of @_rogame predicted, GPD has upgraded the Win 4 to Ryzen 7040U APUs. According to the company's website and accompanying Indiegogo campaign, it will offer the Win 4 (2023) with the Ryzen 5 7640U and Ryzen 7 7840U, which feature Radeon 760M and Radeon 780M iGPUs, respectively. Additionally, the Win 4 (2023) has an OcuLink port that replaces a USB Type-A port, up to 64 GB of LPDDR5x 7500 RAM and 4 TB of PCIe 4.0 storage.

In other words, the Win 4 has received the same overhaul as the Win Max 2, a revised version of which GPD launched last month. GPD has not revealed Win 4 (2023) pricing yet. However, it has listed an August 2023 launch date on its Indiegogo campaign and website. Presumably, GPD will offer the Win 4 (2023) with its G1 eGPU too, which could prove a viable and cheaper alternative to the ASUS ROG Ally and an XG Mobile.
