“Alleged”? Haven’t we known this for months?
Shit you’re right, I got misled by whoever shared it to me saying it leaked, I’ll update the title
It’s a shame it’s only 8GB of vram. But that was already constrained before the memory apocalypse.
Wie know all of this already (even more than what’s listed actually) for like 6 months or ao.
Yeah that was already pointed out in the comments hence why i edited the title
How much?
Nobody knows the final retail price. Probably not even Valve. Educated guesses are in the 600-1200 USD range.
If you have to ask, you can’t afford it.
Which is a crazy phrase because asking can be done for a lot of things.
Lots of people estimated ~$800 based on the specs and Valve’s statement that it will be priced similar to a comparable PC. But that was several months ago, so probably $900-1000 by now.
800$ would be my soft limit as I already have a Steam Deck and a Playstation 5.
1000$ with two controllers would be my hard limit.
I’d want to sell the Playstation 5, but my son plays Roblox and Fortnite on it and he wouldn’t allow me😅
Plus there might be a few Sony exclusives I’d want to play if they’re as great as what we got at the end of the Playstation 4 era.
Do we know how this will compare to the rdna 3 stack? I’m assuming somewhere between 7700 and 7800?
No, weaker. It’s an overclocked 7600M (laptop GPU). There’s many leaks that show that Valve specifically targeted a low cost by using laptop components that AMD couldn’t sell.
The CPU is also weak: it has 2 big cores and 4 little cores. Estimated cost of materials (before the RAM shortage) was ~425 USD, now the cost of materials is ~550 USD
So, $ 633 - $ 715 if they go by average markup margins (15-30%). But that’s a big IF.
So I have basically a whole pc leftover, 11600k + 7700xt from upgrades over the last year or two which is why I was asking. I guess that’d be fairly more powerful. 4k felt pretty bad on it though.
Anybody else mildly surprised it isn’t based on an APU with unified memory, like a cheaper/slower Framework Desktop?
I don’t think there are any ‘cheap’ Strix Halo chips out there, Valve probably got a massive discount (relatively) by using previous gen. laptop parts
They say it’s a custom design, so surely they could’ve custom-designed it to be unified rather than discrete if they wanted. I guess maybe they were trying to make sure it would only be bought by gamers by deliberately making it less versatile for AI?

Interesting - did it always have the storage models?
