The Steam machine APU can perform 6x more operations per second than the Steam Deck APU.
This isn't vague, nor complex. The reasons why the Steam Machine APU is more capable is complex, but the results are not.
Quit making mountains out of molehills
On the subject of treating compute like magic, as the author does:
People who grew up in the iPad generation cannot fathom understanding the intrinsics of anything beyond direct input - > output. For those privileged few, a pez is indistinguishable from a tiktok video, they only go as far as understanding that action - > dopamine. It's a wild généralisation, but after 10y educating the "elite" is one I cannot refute with the data points I have.
