Comment on Steam Frame Teardown: We’re Fans. Except of the Fan - iFixit
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 23 hours agoWhere do they say this? I don’t know why that much ram and processing and storage would be required for just the streaming and fov stuff.

I’ve heard it in a few places, one that comes to mind being an interview with some engineers that PC Gamer did. The RAM was originally half (on par with the Quest 3) but once they realized how much the potential library would expand, they bumped the RAM to 16GB.
This decision was made pre RAM crisis, of course.

But that would have been in response to non streaming, where the headset handles everything. I’m talking about non streaming.
Several people around here keep claiming valve said the hardware in it was pretty much the same hardware needed for a streaming only design, but no one has actually been able to provide a source of them saying it, and it sounds like BS in a rumor mill at this point. Especially because it doesn’t make any sense.
