What do you think compares better last gen or the one before it?

    It’s four Zen 2 CPU cores (came out in 2019) and RDNA 2 graphics (came out in 2020). So between one and two generations depending on which part you’re looking at.

    Still compared to what is available on the market for the 15W power budget, still very capable.

    Well, the AYANEO 2021 line used Vega GPUs, so that might be the “gen before” at least as far as GPUs. You see, the Deck uses a Zen2 CPU (current gen is Zen4) while the GPU in the Deck is RDNA2 (current gen is RDNA3). So while the CPU is 2 generations back, the GPU is only one generation back from bleeding edge. And frankly GPUs last quite a while, and CPUs aren’t the bottleneck for games, so either one not being bleeding edge isn’t even an issue.
