Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh, my God. It even has a watermark.
Jesus they are trying to compete with Sony for most absurd price for a gaming system haha.
I think it's about time for Steam Deck 2, with upgraded tech that goes beyond the display.
That'd be cool, though I'm not sure how Valve could signficantly push graphical power on a handheld without needing to charge >$1,000?
I vaguely remember Valve basically saying that they're pretty much at the price point they want to be at, so a successor probably won't be coming until significant improvements can be had at roughly the same price.
Still too early. Like another poster said, the APU they could put in it now wouldn't give enough of a boost, at the low wattage the Steam Deck works out, to make it worth it.
I am thinking they will need to wait for a 3-nm AMD APU. Hopefully with 8 Zen 5c cores - those 8 cores, at that nanometer process, would take up the same die space as the current 4 Zen 2 cores do at 6-nm. And then hopefully a 16 CU RDNA 3.5 GPU, but just running at low clockspeeds.
Those two things combined should give a 50+% boost at 15-Watts.
