So, there’s a pretty big leap going from Strix Point (mid tier) to Strix Halo (high-end)

Holy shit, no kidding! I guess maybe that's the reason Valve didn't go that way: they wanted to put their product right in the middle of that graphics gap. Also, even that first one apparently has 12 CPU cores, so the whole balance between CPU and GPU performance is just off.

Still though, if we're talking custom, it would've been cool if Valve could've had them build something equivalent to a "Ryzen AI 7" or "Ryzen AI 5", but still with Radeon 8050S or 8060S graphics.
