  ARM processor instead of x86?

    I’ve been using the ARM version on Rocknix and it’s amazing. The power efficiency while maintaining graphic quality is really surprising. I sure hope SteamDeck 2 is ARM. I’d be a little surprised if not.

      It would also give an edge to linux-based handhelds compared with windows ones.

    That’s my secret hope, since they already have the Frame on ARM. This would make the release of a separate ARM based Steam OS more likely and my tablet be very thankful for that.

      There is already an arm version of the steam client you can download right now.

  Given the price of everything, it’s hard to be excited about this. I’ll probably stick with what I have and get used hardware if I’m hard-pressed to get something more.

  I don’t see it happening before the AI bubble pops, and after it pops we’ll all be too busy scavenging to play games. 😉

  At this point they arent just waiting on the chip, they’re waiting on cost.

  Releasing a more expensive system when they just raised the price of the original would be insane.

  People do remember consoles normally decrease in price as they age, yes?

    Prices for consoles went up, too

  If a Steam Deck 2 costs more than 1000 euro/usd, I’m bit interested. The original Steam Deck was interesting to me because it was cheaper than a gaming PC.
