@killyourfm I hope this leads to a Steam Deck 2. I'm itching to get the next iteration :)

@dm I'm actually drafting something about that. After seeing that MSI is using Lunar Lake for its Claw sequel, Acer is entering the market with Radeon 780M graphics (just like ROG Ally X/Legion GO) and games like Final Fantasy 16 and Space Marine 2 can't hit 30fps on Steam Deck, but ARE playable on the other devices...

The question is basically how much longer Steam Deck can survive without a meaningful processor upgrade. Not past 2025, no way.

@killyourfm I agree. FF16 is a wreck on Deck, which is a shame. I was very tempted to buy an Ally X recently, but decided to hold off for a Deck 2 which I hope comes out soon.

I look forward to reading your write up about it!!

@killyourfm I hope it's less boring than the Z1 Extreme, which was just a Ryzen 7 7840U with the NPU disabled. Given history it'll probably just be a Strix Point chip with a couple minor tweaks.

@serebit Damn, Strix Point would be such a massive leap forward in performance. Radeon 890M or better would be flat out awesome in these devices. I *think* Valve will take the semi-custom APU route again, though, like they did with Aerith.
