And they still haven't released any of the modern and power efficient Zen 2/3 APUs right now, with single digit TPD (5-6W) right now, Van Gogh is supposed to come out at some point later this year.
If they want to save cost why don't go with AMD. It will be cooler and use less battery underload too.
Quote from: toven on August 29, 2021, 08:12:03The Steam Deck isn't really indicative of anything, Valve's president has said that the Steam Deck is "very aggressive" and "painful" (for them), i.e. they're selling it at a loss.
Consider steam deck is $399, I don't think Van goh is$299 let alone 5600u.
