I hope those rumors are true! Those RDNA 3 performance gains could do wonders for the handheld PC market as well.
Comment on Switch 2 would arrive in the second half of 2024 and development kits are already out
JasSmith@kbin.social 11 months agoI think you're right on all counts, but RDNA 3, due out next year, is claimed to achieve a 54% increase in performance-per-watt. They could limit clocks/power and achieve similar levels of battery life with significant performance gains; all while keeping thermals down. One can dream!

Since the steam deck 2 will make use of the amazing gains, I wonder if people will really start considering the Deck as an alternative to Switch 2. There's already a TON of overlap in the indy game scene. SO many of those release on both Steam and Switch.
Obviously the hardcore Nintendo IP fans will stick with Switch 2, but outside of that ... ???
The Deck has really been a game changer!
