valve 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

Name another CPU that gets remotely the same performance at 15W

Kyle Gospo•6/10/24, 12:16 AM

You can't, because they haven't made it yet

Kyle Gospo•6/10/24, 12:16 AM

It doesn't matter what generation Zen it is, it does what it needs to do

char•6/10/24, 12:16 AM

I can name devices that destroy the deck at 15W what?

Go for it

char•6/10/24, 12:16 AM

Any 7840U processor can run at 1080p 15W

char•6/10/24, 12:16 AM

8840U

A box of random Arch packages

i run my deck at 7-10w most of the time, no handheld beats that

With their runtime of course, technically

what are you playing on it

char•6/10/24, 12:17 AM

serious question

char•6/10/24, 12:17 AM

maybe it's me but this device collects dust nearly as much as my switch since I got it

char•6/10/24, 12:18 AM

why would I play a game at 720p 30 FPS ultra low when I can play it at 1440p ultra settings on my desktop

char•6/10/24, 12:19 AM

cool device but too weak and if valve made a high end model with 144hz panel, I would be interested

Nope, just checked

Cchar what are you playing on it

HikariKnightOP•6/10/24, 12:19 AM

bunch 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

Kyle Gospo•6/10/24, 12:19 AM

At both 10 and 15W the steam deck wins

Kyle Gospo•6/10/24, 12:20 AM

Only at 25W does that chip outperform

Kyle Gospo•6/10/24, 12:20 AM

Meaning it's a complete waste of my time
