This shouldn’t be for a steam deck 2, but rather some other handheld.

My (uninformed speculation) is this will likely be for another steamOS device made by some other hardware vendor. It will probably have similar performance to the deck, but with minor upgrades like more RAM/VRAM.

More powerful handheld chips exist, but the steam Deck’s APU is very power efficient compared to the alternatives, so I think there’s value in companies using an upgraded version of it over the alternatives.
