For Deck 2, what AMD chip is in the pipeline that Steam would likely use? Would need to be beyond Z1 as they didn't bother updating the current processor, which is kinda interesting considering they got a 6nm shrink on essentially a chip I think only Valve uses.
It would have to be 3nm based as 5nm isn't enough of a jump from 7nm to give valve the performance jump they are looking for.
Zen5c cpu is the most likely CPU successor due to smaller die space than zen5 normal and how it won't need to boost to 5Ghz+ like in desktop/mobile SoC's.
RDNA 4 is the most likely GPU successor as RDNA3 is a dud and RDNA5 won't be ready in time for SD2(late 2025 IMO).
LPDDR6 is possible, speeds starting at 12800MT/s vs the SD OLEDs 6400MT/s.
Wouldn't 3nm be too costly? Steam deck is affordable because it's on an older node.
