Honestly I'm ecstatic to see more Valve hardware. They're setting the target for hardware for game developers which means a better experience for us all.
PC Game Developers will know they need to get they're game running on deck (and now FRAME) if they want to hit the maximum size audience. Nvidia currently owns PC gaming but they're not good stewards of the PC gaming ecosystem anymore (nor is Microsoft).
I really have no interest in title's that beg me to run buggy builds on a $2000 graphics card that is less than 2 years old to be "playable". (Looking squarely at unreal engine 5 games)
I have no interest in GPUs that cost 200% the cost of the rest of the PC.

I want AMD apus to dominate the space. I want Linux to empower them. I am tired and TBH my next gaming PC is going to end up running Kazeta.org at this rate.
Thank you for coming to my TEDex talk
Monkey’s Paw: I have really good news for you about the PS4/5!
Lol yes 😂
Well, CPUs have come down in price because they just aren't advancing in performance that quickly any more; serial compute hasn't improved that much. If you charge much for a modern processor, people will just use an older one. Parallel compute improvements has kept going, and thus GPUs aren't under that kind of pressure from physical limitations.
Is parallel computing the future? >.>
Well, unless we make new physics breakthroughs, serial computing improvements have slowed down a lot and are just limited in how much further we can push it. Kinda makes parallel computing the future by default, at least for problems that can be parallelized. Might not be tomorrow or next year, but over time, yeah, I expect a general shift towards parallelization. That's not a huge surprise
I mean, I think that it isn't very controversial to say that we expected that to probably ultimately happen at some point, just didn't know exactly when.
I just looked up Kazeta.org and it looks like a gaming console with extra steps. It looks cool, but the amount of effort needed to build a physical collection of carts is so tedious that I would have spent better time simply purchasing a gaming console because they are always plug- and- play
I just think it's neat!
Thanks for sharing this!! I agree, seems hella neat! Only downside would be the shelf life of the physical media - but I think that's besides the point! Clicky physical media that holds the game itself is the point!
Real neat concept!
For a while, I’ve also just wanted to use igpus since my gaming demands are not that extreme, but they were enough that older igpus couldn’t handle it. The steam deck was the first machine that could do it for me.
Unless I want to start running ai models in my home, I’ll skip the gpu.
