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?

    I think we’re moving toward an arm-ish future in general. Apple silicon is proof the capability is there, but similarly to EV adoption the industry will play a bigger role in steering us to remain with x86.

      The biggest advantage of ARM for Apple is that Appple can make their own ARM chips. They’ve been trying to in-house the whole supply chain for a long time.

      The same is not true for pretty much any other manufacturer including Microsoft and Valve.
