Benchmark results for a Valve Fremont with an AMD Custom 1772 processor.

A Console that can't play FortNite, Madden NFL, EA FC, COD, Battlefield, GTA, Minecraft, and no Gamepass.

If it doesn't die by itself, the next gen Xbox Magnus will kill it completely.

A fucking Xbox "console" isn't going to kill anything besides finally killing the Xbox brand if anything (I'm cautiously interested despite that).

While Valve definitely needs to fix the anti cheat issue (kernel level anti cheat does work on Linux as far as I'm aware but the versions used by most games don't? Also I seem to remember a certain company run by a complete cunt having involvement with the company that actually makes the biggest anti cheat but I could be wrong) BUT I still think that a device like this will do well in accordance to Valve's expectations and metrics set by the Steam Deck.

I think the original idea behind Steam Machines was great but it just wasn't the right time as Linux just didn't have access to enough games. Now we have Proton and the Steam Deck has shown that Valve can make a great product that can succeed in the modern market.

IF this is a good price (alongside price to performance ratio) and they can fix the anti cheat issue (really all I need to know is that Battlefield works) then I'm very interested.

... "with a removed iGPU".
Does it have a real dedicated GPU?

 

[Bry0]

If you want to run windows on it just install windows. That's kinda the magic of an open hardware platform.

RX 7600 is a pretty trashy GPU, they should have gone for 9060 XT 16 GB

"dedicated RX 7600 GPU"

I don't play any of this shit you listed.

It is fixed, kernel level anti cheat is available for Linux, but it requires extra dev work. So "lol, coding is hard" argument.

Gotta keep costs down though. For a TV based console, seems pretty good.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

How does a 7600 compare to lets say a base PS5 or Series X? I'm not very well versed in AMD GPUs since my old trusty RX580.

 

[The_hunter]

I'd be interested in this solely for a dedicated Linux 'console' for playing older games.

You don't have to sell me on it, I'm already interested.

 

[Bry0]

Same ballpark, maybe a little slower.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Same ballpark, maybe a little slower.

Seems like a weird chose then for a device that will be releasing in the final years of the 9th gen consoles.

Still interested but I can't see myself dropping my ITX build with a 4070 Super/5600x for this despite wanting to get away from Windows badly.

Now that I think about it, I wonder if they mean the 7600 or the 7600m. Of it is the m (mobile) then not as powerful as the PS5 I don't think. Desktop 7600 is pretty close to the 2080 according to techpowerup. Hard to say how that compares to Xbox and PS5.

This one year old video makes it look decent. With a dedicated GPU, maybe they'll sell a 4060 configuration or stronger cards. Depending on PSU.

Not if they sell it for $299.

A device that will play all my steam games better than my Steam Eeck while at the same time syncing perfectly across two devices? Day 1.

I don't know if it will be that cheap but with this spec it's definitely targeting a mainstream price. I'm sure you can get a deal on 6nm 7600 dies at this point, likewise for 6 core r5 240 CPUs.

 

[Soodanim]

I want that controller. Fingers crossed it's good.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

RX 7600 = RX 6700 = PS5

It's surely not by accident they chose this GPU. Will be interesting how much the thing costs. Will laugh my ass off if this comes cheaper than the PS5.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

I might actually pull out the 5070 Ti, sell the rest of my living room PC and play on this thing instead, even if it's much slower. I hate W11 with a passion, and competitive multiplayer isn't that important for me (at least in the living room, lol).

Keep in mind that PS5's GPU can access more than 8 GB VRAM (around ~12 GB)

Hopefully it's a customized 7600 with 16 GB

Why don't you guys just install cachyos or something? They have nvidia drivers, they aren't as polished as mesa but really it's no reason not to switch to Linux if you really want to.

 

[jshackles]

Wake up, Mr. Fremont

$299 seems like a stretch to me. I assume if they are using hardware like this that they will be going for a lower cost but $299 seems low. I'd imagine the floor is $399 but $499 being likely but who knows really.

I really hate Windows as well. I'm a iOS and Mac user for "general computing" so my gaming PC is literally 99% gaming and 1% browsing immediately before or after playing games.
I have my eye on both this and the next Xbox "console" as both could compete for replacing my gaming PC. I know the next Xbox hardware will most likely use the same version of Windows as the Xbox Ally but it's so "un-Windows" in usage that I would be okay with it.

The reason I've never tried to move over was anti-cheat. My PC is primarily a Battlefield machine and I still play Battlefield 1, 4, and 2042 which as far as I'm aware weren't compatible with Linux

 

[BlueManifest]

New steam controller expected to release at same time

 

[Baemono]

Okay probably day one, if it is as powerful as a PS5 Pro or even more

 

[March Climber]

Controller actually matches the layout of the Steam Deck instead of being yet another X360 derivative...

 

[nial]

This will finally kill Sony once and for all.

 

[Syphon Filter]

another attempt at the steam machine i guess.

 

[Zacfoldor]

How does this stack up against the 160w environment saver?

 

[Senua]

This will finally kill Sony once and for all.

Here come the Sony boys

It has to be more powerful at this point right? Especially if it releases in 2026 or later.

They are? It's called options, it's good to have them

 

[solidus12]

I hope this is successful. Imagine PlayStation releasing their games to their new direct competitor.

No more reason to own a PlayStation console then.

 

[Anthony Soprano]

Where's the specs? When I click the tweet it brings me to a tweet with the gamepad and vr controller 3D images.

 

[delirium trigger]

RX 7600 is pretty similar to a PS5.

 

[Nihilum]

8gb seems a bit low for a modern GPU framebuffer (7600) maybe it will have higher configurations?

 

[Sebastian1295]

Steam machine 2.0. Hyped up by the minority and ignored by the majority.

 

[lh032]

Here come the Sony boys

Hi steamdeck, hows your journey to destroy the switch?

 

[clarky]

Will this be an xbox as well?

 

[kevboard]

RX 7600?

 

[BlueManifest]

Okay probably day one, if it is as powerful as a PS5 Pro or even more

Just some quick google searching the rx 7600 is stronger than the ps5 pro yea?
21 Tflops vs pro 16 Tflops, same architecture

 

[Senua]

Weird fanfic but you do you lil gonk

 

[kevboard]

nope. the PS5 Pro tflops are without dual issue FP32, the one of the 7600 are with dual issue FP32. so basically cut the 7600 number in half
