Upcoming APUs sporting Zen 4 cores and RDNA 3+ graphics are claimed to be much faster than existing chips, and look ideal for handhelds.

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.

    Yeah, the Z1 chips mostly out perform the deck by throwing more power at the chip, which isn’t great for a handheld with limited battery capacity.
