The keyboard could come in handy in a windows environment. We'll likely have to wait for the Z2 chips to see what the next performance tier looks like.

The new chips are starting to pop up in handhelds. This one is a beauty, although lacking that Ally X 80Wh battery.

ETA just compared synthetic benchmarks which indicates a 20-30% perf increase in the iGPU compared to 780m. Honestly more than I expected. Not sure if enough to capture Asus/Valve's interest though.

This is the kind of shit I want in steam deck 2. Hopefully in next 2 years or so

Very nice. It seems that we finally have chipset that can hit really decent fps in modern stuff when aided by framegen. Those Forza and CP2077 numbers are really good. Steam Deck can't even hit a consistent 30 at 720p. I'm waiting to see what GPD will do for their Win Mini revision since that one has the most attractive form factor to me right now. If GPD manages to source the same screen as the OneXFly then that's probably going to be my tech impulse buy for 2025.

Edit: Guess I should have been paying more attention. GPD released the specs of the mini and looks like they're sticking with the same screen as the 2024 so no oled but does have freesync.

I can't wait to buy my next PDA.

The performance gap between SD and HX 370 is quite substantial. RDNA 3 already posed a 20% increase on RDNA2. And now 3.5 boasts a similar 20-30% jump. But the biggest differential is obviously a 4 core Zen 2 CPU versus 12 core Zen 5 CPU (yes, TWELVE CORES)

I would not be surprised if we saw performance differentials of over 70% at similar TDP. And then mind you that SD caps at 15W while these handhelds can go way higher. But regardless, it seems Valve are intent on waiting as HX 370 is way, way above Deck's manufacturing budget.

I think a Steam Deck Lite is what I truly want.

While a more powerful SD2 sounds great, I think I would prefer similarly-powered devices to SD1 but smaller and more portable.

That GPD is incredibly ugly. Also way more fragile than it should be because lol keyboard.

I agree. I think even normal Switch is too big, but deal with it as a compromise. I'm sure Valve would never pull TV output from their shrunk version.
