The '395[1] is the same chip that the Framework desktop has[2], with significantly more GPU compute units and memory bandwidth than previous mobile (or desktop) chips from AMD.

I am curious how they're going to handle cooling, because AMD lists the default TDP as 55W and the cTDP as 45-120W, and it can apparently boost to 140W in the framework desktop.

It looks like it's at the default 55W in the video, that seems like a lot for a handheld. I usually keep my Win Mini at 15W or lower, I don't think I've ever hit 20W.

Battery life is also going to be a concern, because even if they give it a 100Wh battery (which I think is the maximum to take on an airplane in the US), if the rest of system (screen, fan, RAM, etc.) uses more than 12W, then that's less than 90 minutes of use on battery.

Reddit is also saying that this one doesn't have a keyboard[3], which is a bummer, because that's something that differentiated GPD handhelds from most others. (I love my GPD Win Mini, in part because it has a full keyboard.)
