> So we really do want to wait for a generational leap in compute without sacrificing battery life before we ship the real second generation of Steam Deck I really can't wait to see how good folks get at running the upcoming Strix Halo at low TDP's. And seeing what numbers they get. But the real fun would be if Deck has cooling (or if a dock can help) to let it really crank too! Deck has 8 RDNA2 compute units. Strix Halo has 40 RDNA3.5 CUs. Huge leap but if the battery life needs to be there I can definitely see Steam taking a pass. Pity because it's software and finishing touches are just so many light years better than the rest.
