Comment on With the Legion Go S, we can now directly compare performance between official builds of SteamOS and Windows
Battery life doubled in some games? Now that is even more impressive than 10-20% performance gain.
I also find it interesting that the Steam Deck OLED has a smaller battery but gets longer life on the same OS
Valve did a lot of work to tune the APU in the steam deck for efficiency.
AMD just kinda took one of their existing laptop APUs and threw it into handhelds instead of laptops.
The Deck also has a weaker but lower wattage chip and worse display, that makes a big difference.
