    I guess Steam Machine is basically DOA unless they delay for another solid year and a half in hopes the AI bubble pops and the production recovers before their AMD spec becomes dated.

      I think it’s more likely that normal processors will start putting the ram stacks on die rather than memory manufacturers start making normal ram again lowering the prices.

      Yes.

      Three good news for Steam is that Moore’s law died a while back; so the current Steam Machine design will probably still play the majority of all games ever published in two years or in five years.

      Still, the AI bubble cannot pop soon enough for my comfort. I want to keep modern conveniences like online shopping, that only continue to work if the vendors don’t vibe code all the trust away.
