Igeekphone News, June 9th: GPD launched a MicroPC product in 2019 and later updated the N4100 processor to N4120 in 2021. It has been six years since there was no real iteration product released.
GPD officially announced today that the MicroPC 2 is about to be launched. It inherits the compact, portable and low-power design of the previous generation. The screen has been upgraded from 6 inches to 7 inches, but the entire machine is only about 50 grams heavier than the first generation, with a net weight of 490 grams.
The CPU of MicroPC 2 adopts Intel N250, with a 4-core and 4-thread design. The main frequency is 3.8GHz and the TDP is 6-15W. At a TDP of 15W, the CPU performance of MicroPC 2 is three times higher than that of the previous generation of MicroPC, making it suitable for mobile office and multimedia presentation scenarios.
Igeekphone has noticed that in the Geekbench 6 CPU performance test, the N250 has a threefold improvement compared to the previous generation MicroPC (N4120).
The official also compared several processors that were used before: N6000, m3-8100y, N4120, Z8750, and also pulled in the CPU data of Switch 2 for comparison. As can be seen from the table below, the single-core score of the N250 has already surpassed the multi-core score of the N4120.
In terms of GPU, the N250 still adopts the UHD integrated graphics, with 32EU, 256SU, and a memory frequency of 1.25GHz. Its half-precision floating-point performance is 768.0 GFLOPS, and its single-precision floating-point performance is 384.0 GFLOPS. At a TDP of 15W, the GPU performance is five times higher than that of the previous generation of MicroPC.
The memory part of GPD MicroPC 2 adopts 16GB LPDDR5 4800 MT/s and a memory bandwidth of 38.4GB/s. Standard configuration: 512GB M.2 2280 SSD, PCIe Gen3×4 specification.
The motherboard of GPD MicroPC 2 supports double-sided SSDS. You can replace them with larger capacity SSDS by yourself. For example, the largest double-sided SSD at present is 8TB, with no upper limit and no capacity limitation. The peak read and write capacity is 3.94GB/s.
