Announcing new Steam Hardware from Valve: Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and Steam Frame are coming in 2026. Just like Steam Deck, all three devices are optimized for Steam and designed for players to get even more out of their Steam library.

it basically has less cpu cores, (6c/12t vs ps5 8c/16t) and less GPU compute units (28CU vs 36CU), however the GabeCube uses newer CPU and GPU architecture compared to the PS5 (Zen 4 vs PS5's Zen 2, RDNA3 instead of PS5's RNDA2) to make up a little bit of ground. hence why if you had to give it a rough performance, its near a PS5, but not exactly quite there.

I don't think the newer architecture will make up for all of that but ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž

RDNA2 > RDNA3 is liek ~10% gen over gen, so gpu wise, its still sort of behind. CPU wise, Zen 2 > Zen 4 is a huge jump
