It's its own unit! From Valve's own website:
It's got its own CPU, GPU, and RAM, and has SteamOS preinstalled (just like the Deck or upcoming Machine) that you can play standalone games on, but also stream from a PC for even beefier games.
Nice. I never looked into it cause I just figured it was Index 2
There's some pretty interesting tech and development behind it, too. Like the Proton-like translation layer which will allow x86-native games to be played on ARM (I think this is an accurate, if reductive, description of Valve's FEX). It's just a cool piece of hardware, sorry if I seem too excited 😅
