This is good news for my wallet I guess, although it makes me wonder what's up with that "Sephiroth" APU that showed up in the Linux Kernel. I'm so happy with my current Steam Deck that I don't really need another iteration on it right away anyway.
I loved my steak deck, but I sold it and got a ROG Ally, it's better in every way and makes me wonder why Valve is just letting other companies run away with their idea.
Valve has said, with pretty much every hardware initiative they've ever had, that their goal was to create a product line that other people will start competing with. They want to push the handheld form factor PC because they know it opens up a new group of gamers to their platform. They don't care who is making the hardware.
How hard would it be to just melt the i7 or wherever out of there and drop in the i34 or whatever in a few years?
Has anyone gotten jtag or anything yet?
