Time will tell. On paper, yes. In practice, who knows

Most of the handheld benchmarks have been 3% or 4% higher compared to the Steamdeck at 15 watts, which often is a 1 to 4 FPS difference. This would explain why Valve isn’t in a hurry for a Steamdeck 2. If you plan of playing on battery, then that is what you’ll probably running around that if you plan on playing a while. The main advantage of these newer chips is when used plugged in.

The Steam Deck is already a couple of years old, so it’s not that hard to do. This thing has better specs across the board, with even the base model having twice the cores and threads as the Deck.
Mango@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I’m not really sure core and thread count is a good metric. The steam deck is getting more specific support and there’s more to consider about a CPU.

Steamdeck performance is still pretty good though, imo the most important factor in the handheld pc market is battery life. If games take a 5% hit to performance for an extra 40 minutes of battery life, the tradeoff becomes obvious to me.

From the picture I though they might be mimicing the Deck's touchpads, but I think those are just the speakers.

What a perfect place for speakers, half-obscured by the user's hands.

Taking lessons from Nintendo. At least it’s not backwards/downwards firing, but doing this kind of shit requires a manufacturer to be as daft as Dell. That’s not an easy feat to achieve

Ah, I missed that part. Though it feels like they're a bit too low on the face to be used comfortably.

those are pretty good prices for 7840 and 8840. Most handhelds with a 7840 have been closer to 1k.

Hall effect joysticks. That’s cool to see.
