KAnd here we are a couple generations later and it's still the best at it, quite the chip
ADevelopment is being headed up by a trans woman bless her and it's looking fantastic so far
KI can't wait to see what AMD does next with the concept
Mthey did
Cthey didn't
K10% with OLED
KAt the same 15W
Cdoubtful
M??
Cit's like 3 FPS more on average
Mmore fps with longer battery
Mthere is literally no better combo
C3 FPS more..
KThe deck is not a 60 FPS 25 watt handheld, it is a 15 w handheld design to play modern PC games for hours on the go
KIf you want something different, the answer is a different handheld and not something valve does not want to deliver
Hhandhelds is a balancing act to try cater to people
you either get 1080p 60fps and crap battery (unless you want to go the 1600p legion go route)
or you get 800p/720p 40-90fps and decent battery if you are smart

KI don't want them to deliver that, I don't want that product
Canyway fuck x86 we need an ARM handheld using Snapdragon X Elite
Cthe battery life and efficiency would be insane
KNow your games are going to actually run like dog shit
Cdepends
KThis is a real stardew valley gaming handheld
Cwith Box64? absolutely
CPrism? potentially chance of being nearly as good as Rosetta
KThe steam deck outperforms a $2,000 MacBook in CS2
KBeing as good as Rosetta is not a win
Ca $2000 MacBook is not made to game
AI should also note
ARosetta only works as well as it does becuase it's just a stopgap
Cyou can design a decent ARM chip with good power for gaming
Athe BIG thing apple does
Ato make the transition work
KIt's also cheating in hardware to accomplish that
Ais Universal Binary, aka Fat Binary
KWhich I admit is a very cool solution
Awhich is when they just
CI have faith in Prism to be something similar
Acompile both x86 and arm64 code and slap it in one file
Aso it's native code
CBox64 will never get good performance for anything game related though
Arosetta is just there to act as a stop gap while things pull themselves together to get universal binary support and all that
VLike what? I'd say whatever the latest snapdragon flagship is was made for gaming and I guarantee that also does not outperform a £350 steam deck.
Aonce they do that, the need for Rosetta goes away
AI mean they literally did this already with the PPC to Intel migration
Aexactly the same way
ARosetta 1 and fat binaries with Universal Binary
KYeah, zero faith that Apple keeps that around a microsecond longer than they need for their own purposes
KI can see why valve dropped caring for Apple products
CAMD and Snapdragon partner together to make a killer ARM chip in the future
CAnd these handhelds run either Prism and WoA or some Valve equivalent
