Given the efficiency improvements across the board, it should actually be faster (but probably single digit percent faster) for any game that runs into power throttling on the first gen hardware.

I’m glad they went the direction of efficiency. It’s cheaper to scale production than a brand new chip. What good does more performance do when you’re looking at a black screen after an hour or two because the battery died so fast.

It’s already a pretty big device to begin with. Eventually I see them splitting the lineup with a thinner Deck Lite and a Deck 2.

The former being same performance as current Deck but significantly thinner and lighter. Doing another die shrink of the current chip would allow smaller battery and cooling while maintaining similar battery life.

Then the Deck 2 being essentially just the form of current Deck but with 50% better performance and maybe capable of RT. They will probably make it a little lighter and smaller but not by a significant amount.
