DV is the final prototype build before production, and it includes improvements from the EV2 build. After this build, there will be additional minor changes in the final product.

Keyser_Soze Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Steam :: Steam Deck Deposit :: Steam Deck Case - 512GB STEAMCOMMUNITY.COM We recently posted pictures of the Steam Deck dev kits and final packaging. Today we're sharing one additional piece - the exclusive case that's limited to the 512 GB Steam Deck model. Similar to the 256GB and 64GB models, the 512GB model comes shipped in a carrying case (which we decided to use as the actual packaging, rather than a traditional box).

Brian Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I don’t think there is anything more to be excited about until it ships. Based on my estimate, I won’t be getting until April which is a bummer. I am itching to play Inscryption. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 It’s a bummer the Deck couldn’t make a Xmas release even though I was scheduled for Q1. Playing the Deck on Xmas would have been great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaku3 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Deflated I guess for 2022 it will have Ryzen 6xxx APUs. They are using the 5xxx APU series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it don't believe it can be 5000 series because according to Valve's own specs for the Steam Deck, it uses Zen 2 cores, whereas the 5000 series uses Zen 3. And yet, it's using RDNA 2 GPU cores. It could be based on the 4000 series APUs, which did use Zen 2, although those use GCN for its GPU architecture compared to RDNA 2. From what I can gather, it's either AMD's Van Gogh APU, or AMD's new Dragon Crest APU, both of which of course uses RDNA 2, and Zen 2 cores, at least according to this "roadmap" The only real question I have at this point is on the Steam Deck's specs, it says power is 4-15w, whereas both Van Gogh, and Dragon Crest say 9 watt TDP. Does this imply Valve's Steam Deck isn't so off-the-shelf, or were they able to overclock its TDP to better fit the power output of the system? Then again, maybe the additional 6 watts is for the LPDDR5 memory itself, thus including the whole package rather than simply the APU die? But then there was this report saying Van Gogh was cancelled to make way for Dragon Crest, which given the timetable for the Steam Deck launching in 2022, seems to make sense. The new Aya Neo using Rembrandt will certainly be something to look forward to, although you can guarantee the price will be a lot more compared to the Steam Deck. So the trade off in cost vs. performance should be factored in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it's worth it since the Deck has RDNA2 and this doesn't. I am starting to love my Aya Neo kills the switch barring I feel even the standard switch has a nicer screen. If anything I guess the Neo Next would offer better performance, better battery life and a better screen. I'd say that would be worth it if the Deck didn't exist. Oo i'd also get better audio since my unit is a launch unit it has the old speakers they choose. Lol almost convinced myself to upgrade but I still think it's wiser to just wait for the deck and save the 1.1k+ for a RDNA2 Neo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
