Comment on Valve still waiting on a 'generational leap' for Steam Deck 2 - but it's coming

  And given some recent news about Valve working on an ARM emulator and funding Arch Linux to help them start supporting ARM as well they might be working towards that. Though if that is for the deck 2 or something else further in the future is yet to be seen.

    It’s rumored to be for new standalone VR.

    But, well, future is a long time, especially on Valve Time. ;)

    Exactly. They’re already working on ARM support.

  surprisingly not most of the time I checked.

  Laptop/Mobile x86 seemed rather competetive to Laptop/Mobile ARM in performance/Watt

    Well, let me rephrase it: it’s a completely different discussion if you want to run Windows games on ARM without ridiculous performance losses due to translation from x86.

    Until we get Proton running with near-native speeds on ARM like on x86 perf/watt isn’t really that important.
