Valve has confirmed it's sticking with the current Steam Deck performance level for a while, so what updates will there be?

Yeah. Doing software is hard, doing household hardware is harder, but doing GPU-class chips? No fucking way at all.

Yup, Intel is struggling to enter the market, and they've been building similar chips for years. This just isn't an area for someone like Valve to break into.

Maybe they could make a good cooler design or something, but they're going to be using off the shelf chips, or maybe slightly altered custom chips like they did with the Steam Deck.
