GPD Win Max 2: Ryzen 7 6800U ahead of the Core i7-1260P


from Maximilian Hohm
The GPD Win Max 2 is a mobile gaming PC based on AMD’s Rembrandt or Intel’s Alder Lake P. The otherwise identical laptops can also be used as handhelds due to their small size and should offer decent gaming performance. However, a first test by Youtuber “The Phawx” showed that the AMD model is the better gaming partner. Read more about this below.

Intel’s current Alder Lake P-based mobile processors offer high single-thread performance and efficiency, which also makes them a good basis for fast laptops, but the Xe-LP solutions also seem to be good in terms of integrated graphics solutions can’t even come close to AMD’s Rembrandt APUs with RDNA 2 graphics solutions. The Youtuber “ThePhawx”, in real life Cary Golomb, worked this out in the test of the new Win Max 2 mobile consoles and only recommends users to buy the AMD model.

For the exact same price of €979, willing users can purchase the gaming PC, a result of a successful Indiegogo campaign. While the AMD model relies on a Ryzen 7 6800U including an RDNA 2 graphics unit with twelve compute units, the Intel Core i7-1260P can access a total of 96 compute units from the Xe-LP architecture, although not directly, of course are comparable to each other. What both have in common, however, is the memory expansion of 16 GiB LPDDR5, which is operated according to the respective manufacturer’s specifications, a 10.1-inch display with a maximum resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 and the memory expansion with M.2 SSD(s).

The ThePhawx test compares the performance of the APUs with the same TDP and AMD’s Ryzen 7 6800U seems to be in a different sphere in terms of performance. In Horizon Zero Dawn, he achieved more than twice the frame rate of the Intel chip in every TDP configuration and four or even seven times the performance in the range of 15 watts and below.

The Intel APU also sees no land in Borderlands 3 and, depending on the TDP budget, has to admit defeat by a factor of almost two to four. The Ryzen 7 6800U shines above all in TDP regions of 15 watts and below, where it can fully exploit its efficiency, but clearly defeats the Core i7-1260P over the entire TDP spectrum, even though the Intel CPU has a slightly higher single-core performance on the processor side.
