And the next shift will be when they use ARM for the Steam Deck 2 once FEX has a lot of games/quirks worked out

I dont think there are any arm socs that are faster than the current steam deck

The M2 is like twice the performance

Apple really does have a crazy hardware division. I wish their software was anywhere near as appealing. They could do a good job of kicking Qualcomm into actually making something useful if they chose to license their M series chips

Their experience with Mac clones in the 1990s guarantees that will never happen.

Yeah thats fair.

I would probably bet that the next steam deck will be made by AMD or Intel unless something major changes in 2028. The new Intel CPUs are super power efficient, and the AMD CPUs later this year are planned to be similar.
