Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders

I was expecting an APU
…and you got one.
No, the Steam Machine has a CPU and a pcie GPU.
Even if you could argue Raphael was an ‘apu’ since it has the 2CU GPU, those are lasered off on Steam Machine’s CPU.
And honestly, we probably should have expected this from the leaked benchmarks. It was already showing hits of using a separate 7600
AFAIK: It depends. The Cube: No The VR headset: Yes. But it’s rather an SoC.
