Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders
ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 2 days agoIt’s newer hardware in a bigger form factor.
It should be 6x as powerful, that shouldn’t be a surprise.

The power is not a surprise because they said how powerful it will be. I never said anything to the contrary?

Sure, I should have clarified not surprised by the power or the price.
It makes sense that as more and more power becomes available, the price doesn’t necessarily have to increase.
Computers (especially CPUs/GPUs/SOCs etc) are becoming more and more powerful all the time, and more and more efficient all the time. It doesn’t mean that the price of them has to rise.
The fact that it’s 6 times as powerful doesn’t mean it should be more expensive than the most expensive version of the Steam Deck. The fact that it’s 6 times as powerful should be entirely expected.
Hopefully this is a detailed enough comment to clearly explain my thoughts on this.
