No it won’t. First steamOS is just very good on a handheld where windows isn’t, and even if it is such a good chip, valve could always adopt it in their next iteration.

the problem that intel has that the piece doesnt mention is all of intels claims for the most part was intel comparing it against themselves and not their competitors, as intel probably knows that it would look silly vs AMD.

theres clearly stuff being hidden as Intels claiming both gpu performance and power consumption better than previous generation. the problem is, intel previous generation was already by default worse than AMD/TSMC in both fronts, so being better than previous intel only paints part of the picture.

also advertising for raytracing at this performance tier is silly. thats like trying to buy a rtx 3050 for raytracing (you really shouldn't)

Comparing hardware is for fools. It assumes a static codebase. Steam is actively developed. The only hardware worth purchasing is that which is supported by the developers directly.

My thoughts exactly.

For a consistent and complete user experience that isn't completely driven by ulterior motives, this is usually the best way to go IMO

Steam Deck is over 2 years old now and still works great. If Valve wanted to release a new version I'm sure it would compare favorably to this new chip.

...what if the next Steam deck runs Intel?
