Seeing as the newest iPhone is $1,200 and only slightly better than the Steam Deck, I completely agree. It’s probably going to be a while before more a more powerful processor is cost effective.

So, 3-6 months then?

I think with the release of Zen 4c we will start to see the future path for Steam Deck 2, especially with its efficiency at low TDPs. What we need now is efficient GPU cores that can get a 1.5-2x performance boost to make a Steam Deck 2 worth it.

I believe them, I want the Deck 2 to have a performance upgrade like going from a ps4 to a ps5

Yeet

They mean as in small form factor power and batteries they could make one now but it be 3 times the size you want a 4070 handheld well you need battery tech to improve to even think about powering jt
