With how close they've been working with AMD I wouldn't doubt if they know what is in the works and are waiting for that tech to mature.
Imagine Valve going the Apple route: "Fuck it, we will design our own hardware to suit our needs" and making hardware tailored to linux.
Edit: what about qualcomm's new ARM: Snapdragon X Elite?
Cool, does this mean they'll actually fucking sell the thing in Australia, or is it just forever going to be dodgy resellers?
They are hoping for robot gamer companion SteamyTM to develop enough AI empathy where it doesn't kill you in a rage-quit.
Qc X elite says hi
Edit: 2.5-3.5x faster cpu and 2x faster gpu at slightly higher tdp (23W vs 19W). Even if the arm x86 emulation has 40% overhead it'd still be faster and more efficient especially at lower power limits where arm shines.
Bruh that psp knockoff looks like straight garbage to use compared to the deck.
