Our UMPC second-epoch performance benchmarking suite has undergone substantial expansion:
**Three New Devices Added to Comparison:
- GPD Pocket 3 with Intel Core™ i3-1125G4 processor
- Noname P8 with Intel N150 processor
- GPD Win Mini 2025 with AMD Ryzen™ AI 9 HX 370 processor
The comparison now encompasses 12 devices across 9 years of UMPC evolution.
Benchmarking Methodology Update:
The Passmark memory test has become obsolete and no longer reflects real-world memory performance.
We have integrated AIDA 64-based memory benchmarking, comprehensively testing all 12 comparison devices.
Key Findings:
-
Absolute Performance Leader: The GPD Win Mini 2025 demonstrates clear superiority across CPU performance, memory bandwidth, and GPU performance.
-
Noname P8 N150 Improvement: The N150 variant delivers significantly higher performance than its N100 predecessor. Performance gains are evident not merely in synthetic benchmarks, but in practical daily usage. Critical recommendation: Replace the factory-supplied SSD with an aftermarket NVMe drive — this single upgrade can yield approximately 10x storage performance improvement.
-
GPD Pocket 3 Significant Advance: The GPD Pocket 3 represents genuine progress in the swivel-hinge UMPC segment. Compared to the One-Netbook A1, CPU, memory, and GPU performance have improved 3–4x across all metrics — a generational leap in capability.
Full results: Benchmarking UMPCs of the second epoch.
