By known inside KeplerL22028 is so far away...
>>736222801/biz/ will be devastated.
>>736222801I'm still more than happy with my Deck, so whatever. As long as they make the Deck 2 as good as possible and give it the launch it deserves, then that's fine.
>>736224559We're not getting a Deck 2.
>>736222801>KeplerL2what, Tyler Mcnigger wasn't available?
>>736222801Was this not expected? They have openly said they're not making a deck 2 until meaningful leaps in handheld tech have been made. That means we're waiting for that arm translation layer for steam to be mature enough to launch a flagship device using it and then an arm chip that hits the right cost to performance/power ratio to run it. They can let others make stop gap devices while steam os rolls out to everything anyway, so two years would be early all things considered.
>>736224742The world could change so radically in the next 5 years, maybe. But the next few, probably not. I'd say we get one.
>since they don't have a semi-custom SoCRelying on AMD to deliver an efficient chip? DOA.
>>736225468Yeah exactly, anyone who had followed the steam deck 2 even slightly already knew this
>>736227258And this was even before the whole current hardware supply issue
>>736225468With their new VR headset pushing ARM support, it feels like the Deck 2 is going to use ARM for big boosts and Valve will spend the next 2 years making sure more Steam games work on ARM. Valve pushing ARM is such a massive deal, you have Android based emulation handhelds like the Odin 3 able to play Steam games natively already, that's an actual console killer when suddenly phones can use Steam and Timmy's lawsuit means they won't have to give Google and Apple their 30% cut.
>>736227475ARM is not even remotely close to prime time.
>>736222801RAM and other hardware will be even rarer in 2028
don't carecontroller when
>>736228603never, you got AI datacenters stealing all your personal info forever instead
chatgpt are my gooning sessions with you really more important than low hardware prices?
What is the point of Steam Deck 2 if the first one can play anything that matters anyways
>>736226864???amd is efficient as shit, the new arrow lake shit is less efficient than zen5 despite being on a new process nodeit's all down to them being slow to process nodes
>>736229394Deck only worked because they had a custom chip laying around, every other thing to come from then since sucked at lower wattages.
>>736229918because you're comparing linux to windows
>>736230331No, I'm comparing 0405(?) to Z2E and whatever else both on Linux.
