  They are and it’s a shame. But it’s ok, wait and buy used.

  This isn’t as powerful as a PS5 or as portable as a Switch (and doesn’t have the benefits of a console). So it should be cheaper. Looking at the prices right now, PS5 with Fifa is 450 from MediaMarkt and Series S is 380. But the PS5 is already heavily criticised for being too expensive. I believe Series S can be 300 if you look around and wait for a sale.

        Thanks, I hadn’t seen that.

        Still though, Zen 2 “up to” 3.5GHz on the PS5 (non-Pro) vs Zen 4 “up to” 4.8GHz; RDNA 2 with 36 CUs at 2.23 GHz vs RDNA 3 with 28 CUs at 2.45GHz

        Yeah the PS5 has more memory available to the GPU, but it’s shared and the Steam Machine has more total memory

        Also, everyone seems to be forgetting the “semi custom” bit, which while it’s less than half the PS5 Pro’s CUs, I’d be willing to wager that it’ll beat the base PS5

        I’m betting they price it under $500 for the 512GB version (complete guess here, don’t crucify me lol)
