It'll probably be items that use low end chips that suffer first. Like fridges, smart watches, microwaves etc as the margins for those chips are probably abysmal. (obvious solution would be to STOP MAKING EVERYTHING THE INTERNET OF THINGS) I know for the AMD and Intel CPUs for data centers are the real money makers versus selling at the consumer level.
If I recall valve is still using somewhat of a cutdown version of what's in the big consoles (PS & Xbox). And if I'm right as long as there are manufacturing defects that dont allow passing for a PS5, BUT are passing for a Steam Deck valve would be fine
The Steam Deck doesn't appear to use that design, it's a different APU (4 core, 8 threads compared to the 8 cores and 16 threads of the ps5), but AMD does put out some defective PS5 chips as a desktop board called the 4700S. There's likely to be a lot more repurposing of slightly out of spec hardware for other consumer devices, but while I may be wrong about this, I think the reason we haven't seen anything like this with the new Xboxes is because they actually just make all the chips targeting the Series X hardware, and those that don't quite make the cut get underclocked, paired with a more compact cooling system, and shipped out as the Series S.
ha, valve's gonna have to abandon the Steam Deck before it's even out! That's gotta be a record, even for them.
