“next-gen” how? Valve is getting first dibs at the next AMD SoC as far I’ve heard, and that’s still a year or two away from release. Doubting this runs Nvidia, because Nintendo is kind of the single license for that at the moment, and it’s not cheap OR very performance per-watt compared to AMD.
Valve is getting first dibs at the next AMD SoC as far I’ve heard
This is huge if true, as Van Gogh (the Deck chip) was a seperate “line” than all the overly CPU-heavy laptop chips other handhelds are using at the moment.
Both sides have accidentally spilled the beans on this. AMD outed a new upcoming chip for their existing “handheld wins” (aka Steam Deck), Valve has confirmed they are already working on their next handheld, but then also said there “will be no Z2 Steam Deck” after AMD already outed their work on the next chip.
So that’s Valve getting a chip AMD has already confirmed they are working on, and no other manufacturers have mentioned or have the sales numbers to get AMD interested. That’s it right there.
