Well, the steam deck is 3 years old now.... Poor Intel.

I would also assume most people interested in SteamDecks don't care too much about its performance. As long as it plays older titles well enough or newer games that are not cutting edge in game engines it is fine.

And my pc made with mid range parts from around the steam deck's release can still do medium-high settings on most modern games at 1080p, so the steam deck could even play most modern games at low on 720p

And you can use that PC to stream games to the Steam Deck, getting pretty crazy battery life and making the Deck’s performance capabilities entirely irrelevant.

I am interested in FPS per watt.
If it kills my battery in 1h I'm not keen on it.
