New AMD CPU leak looks like a perfect fit for Steam Deck 2 (www.pcgamesn.com)

Honestly I think it's probably too soon for the kind of significant performance increase Valve is wanting for the Steam Deck 2. Not to mention that the OLED deck just came out. That said, even if these chips don't make it to a Deck 2 I'm sure we'll see them in competing devices.

I think with games getting more demanding, they will have to release a more powerful Deck in the next 2-4 years, probably closer to 2.

The deck is already too weak to play most modern games. You can't play Madden 24 with a stable 30 FPS and sports games are perfect for handheld gaming devices.

The ROG ALLY seems to want to release new models every year or so to keep up and if the steam deck doesn't do the same I fear their sales will plummet until a new model comes out.

I don't think that Rog Ally is very successful though. Do you have some sales numbers? And releasing a new model every year will add complexity as they will need to support different hardware platforms, etc.

I also agree that it would have been great if the Deck had more oomph, but they do compensate with great software support and real dedication on their side.

The Deck is basically a Series S with when you factor in the much lower resolution.
