New steam controller expected to release alongside it. This also should push back estimates of when to expect a Steam Deck 2, since valve is probably putting most of their hardware efforts towards this instead.

I really, really wouldn't trust this website. I found a glaring error in it, and then an even more glaring one in the article it links about the rumoured Valve standalone VR headset:

Curiously, this newer SoC features two fewer cores than the older ones (6 vs. 8) but architectural improvements will help plug this gap.

It’s not too surprising considering McVicker states it’ll run on an ARM-based CPU, much like Deck. With a lower power draw, this ought to keep battery life reasonable where a traditional x86 variant would drain it in minutes. The trade-off is that computational output isn’t quite on par with your usual desktop CPU, unless you’re talking about Apple’s M Series specifically.
