every 2 years for upgrades to what is literally a laptop is logical

Cnot the OS, on about how they treat it as a console
Cit is not and will never be a console
Cyou don't have to upgrade constantly
Hit gives people who care as a dev a target instead of an arbitrary combination of hardware. you are missing the point entierly
KOkay let's put it this way cuz I don't think you're getting it
KThere are 30 ayaneo right now
C30 ayaneo is dumb
KThat's 30 fundamentally different handhelds that all need their own upgrade path because they have different hardware inside
KFramework has two laptops
KBoth of which have every upgrade they've ever released available for them at all times
CIt literally cannot get worse over time unless there's performance degradation due to software updates. It will be less adequate in running software which came out after it launched, but that isn't the same thing.
KThat is a true upgrade path and what they need to do to their handhelds if they are going to go this route long term
Cframework does it right
Cbut valve is being dumb w this decision
Calso just license steamos to OEMs please already
Hagain rem you are missing the point of why valve doesnt crap out a new handheld constantly
CI'm not because you do not have to upgrade it every year
CValve is primarily a software company
Cit just means you don't pay for crappy ancient hardware
Cby 2025 this will be ancient hardware
Cwe are nearly on Zen 6
Chence why they should just license the os
KThis is a bad argument
Hvalve is giving devs a target platform other than "box of random hardware"
and also upgrading just because there has been a 10% performance increase for 7% power increase is not worth making new hardware for

KName another CPU that gets remotely the same performance at 15W
KYou can't, because they haven't made it yet
KIt doesn't matter what generation Zen it is, it does what it needs to do
CI can name devices that destroy the deck at 15W what?
KGo for it
CAny 7840U processor can run at 1080p 15W
C8840U
Cthe new Strix Point chips
CA box of random Arch packages
Hi run my deck at 7-10w most of the time, no handheld beats that
CWith their runtime of course, technically
Cwhat are you playing on it
Cserious question
Cmaybe it's me but this device collects dust nearly as much as my switch since I got it
Cwhy would I play a game at 720p 30 FPS ultra low when I can play it at 1440p ultra settings on my desktop
Ccool device but too weak and if valve made a high end model with 144hz panel, I would be interested
KNope, just checked
Hbunch of emulators
a bunch of tales games (including arise)
deeprock
warframe
FF7 remake
control
engarde
horizon zero dawn
all the yakuza/like a dragon games except the newest one

KAt both 10 and 15W the steam deck wins
KOnly at 25W does that chip outperform
KMeaning it's a complete waste of my time
Moled deck even more so which many charts dont take into account
Msince the soc is different
Ci can play all of this shit on my PC far better
KYep, another 10% faster
KNow pick it up and take it on the ferry
