“So we’ve been working back from silicon advancements and architectural improvements, and I think we have a pretty good idea of what the next version of Steam Deck is going to be, but right now there’s no offerings in that landscape, in the SoC [System on a Chip] landscape, that we think would truly be a next-gen performance Steam Deck,” Griffais continued
It sounds like what they are aiming for might not be in their alleged sub $1,000 price target.
It sounds like they are exactly trying to hit their old price point by waiting for chips to improve enough. So they can get a big performance boost for similar cost.
Ayaneo 3 with the HX370 (which does have some cool but expensive gimmicks) is $1400, Ally X with the same gpu is $1000. I think it’s gonna take a few years before they get beat in performance and price.
