My guess is that Valve will wait at least 1 more generation, since Zen 6 will be on N2p which will be the first nanosheet generation (with promised 30% power reductions compared to the n3e that zen5 uses). Valve clearly is more interested in a console model with new releases only when there is a massive performance uplift compared to the prior generation, so I think we are at least 1 gen away. Specifically, I think their target will be 1080p/60fps on low settings (or higher settings using fsr).
- ho_schi 1y agoYep. And that's good for customers and Linux. Maybe Zen 6. AMD already provides the Z-Series specifically for handhelds. The Steamdeck uses currently the regular Zen2 with a RNDA2 from Zen3+. Best would be passive cooling, which would probably run well with native Linux ports like Counter-Strike 2. But I'm worried that they need to use fans again.
- adgjlsfhk1 1y agoa fan seems very likely to me. to avoid it, you need to go down to ~5 watts, and then you remove the ability to run faster when plugged in.

(But I guess this will depend on what kind of deal they can make for their panels...)
