I'm confused - isn't the Steam Frame ARM based, and using FEX? The article talks about future devices but doesn't mention the big new device that will be using FEX in 2026?

I wonder why isn't box86 and box64 used instead

[–] nialv7@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

box86 is younger than FEX i think? maybe it's just that when they decided to fund FEX box86 didn't exist yet?

I think the article is working off the assumption that readers already know that the Steam Frame uses ARM. Basically, it's gonna be a testing platform for things to come.
