Comment on According to Dexerto Ayaneo next handheld is going to use SteamOS
BolexForSoup@kbin.social 8 months agoI mean look, I love my steamdeck, but I would hardly call it a powerhouse. You have to make pretty serious compromises on your visuals for AAA games with a few notable exceptions. So yeah I’m down for a device that isn’t as powerful but if the gap is too wide it really is only going to strictly be a little indie game machine. Which is cool and but important to note.

Battery tech and x86 chip tech doesn’t really make a “powerhouse” handheld possible, unless you completely abandon the idea of it having any acceptable battery life.
There’s talk about the next few years being when arm and risc-v will start to replace x86 for windows/Linux, and that could possibly make a big difference. But I also imagine game compatibility and performance will be pretty poor starting out, so it’ll be quite a while I imagine.
