A few days ago, Valve unveiled its first handheld gaming device, namely the Steam Deck. The machine features a 7-inch 60Hz display with a native resolution of 1280 x 800px. Valve partnered with AMD to power the device, with it touting an APU that has a Zen 2 four core eight thread CPU paired with an RDNA 2 1.6 Tflops GPU. It also has 16GB of LPDDR5 ram and internal storage that goes up to 512GB of NVMe. Starting at $399, the Steam Deck sounds neat on paper, but many have been worried about performance since a statement from a Valve employee was interpreted as suggesting that the company is targeting 30fps on the handheld.
