Slap that bad boy in steam deck v2. If those numbers are all close to true it would be an amazing chip to put in the next version of steam deck. Much better battery life, world’s better graphics processing, snapdragon chips play nice with Linux, and you could get cell data plans on it for online on the go gaming if you wanted.
Yes it could be great but that would add another translation layer onto the stack since all the x86 machine code needs to be translated to ARM. I don’t know if this will actually be a performance gain then

According to Ars Technica this processor draws 50W to get those performance numbers. The entire Steam Deck doesn’t even use that much power.
