This looks good. Like a Super PS4 Pro.
Valve should sell the lowest spec and let third parties go crazy with more powerful hardware or higher memory specs.

Announced specs are quite epic. AMD Zen 4 cpu - probably something similar to 7600X but can go as high as 7900X. GPU is 8GB RDNA3 - probably something like RX7600 (close to 4060m). This is already better than most MiniPCs on the market. If the price is right, post-release MiniPC market is going to be fun.

It‘s a 6-core CPU, with a 35 watt TDP. It will not be able to compete with a 7900X with 12 cores and a 5 times higher TDP - and not with a 7600X with 8 cores and 105W TDP.
Still, that’s absolutely fine for gaming.

Maybe it is hugely toned down custom CPU. There are not so many Zen4 CPUs with similar specs. I’d say, this is 7600 at minimum which is still quite good.
We were impressed by 7840u CPUs in these miniPCs like EM780. With Steam Machines’ form factor, wonder what they will pull off.
