QuoteWould you buy a Steam Machine now or wait for prices to come down?
No, I would not, because it has only 8 GB VRAM (12 would be fine) and they can't be upgraded, unlike swapping a GPU in PC.
The only 16 GB DDR5 RAM are supposedly swappable, but are 32 GB RAM supported?
The 6-core Zen 4 I have 0 complaints about. Setting the TDP to 30W is a smart choice, gives it also the best energy efficiency / performance per Wh.
The GPU architecture is RDNA3, not RDNA4,, so that's another issue, but I suppose FSR4 will come to RDNA3 on a Steam Machine? (for desktop RDNA3 GPUs, FSR4 is confirmed as of recently)
PS: Valve, when FSR4 for RDNA3.5 iGPUs? (imagine the expensive Strix Halo' RDNA3.5 iGPU wouldn't get FSR4)
I like the cube design and wish VALVE success with this tho (but 8 GB VRAM tho, man..), so they can stop with the opening cases gambling scheme.
