Just wondering if releasing the steam deck 2 on arm would be a huge deal. I know arm is famous for being more efficient, but would it still be better, even when using FEX?

    We don’t know. Valve has said they have no plans for a Steam Deck 2 any time soon, not until they can offer whatever they consider to be a substantial enough upgrade. It’s possible ARM could be a means to that end, but we don’t know. FEX probably needs to make a lot more progress before they can even consider it. Maybe it will by the time Deck 2 enters the conversation. We don’t know.

      I hope they release it around 2028-30. PS6 will be out for a year or two, Switch 3 will be far away, so perfect time for me to buy a new “console”.
