This is more of a Steamdeck 1.5 than simply “OLED”. And even the apu is on a smaller node and more efficient.

minus-squaremuhwyndhamhp@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoThe apu does upgraded, but not in the way you think. It get node shrink which means it can do the same performance at lower power consumption. By their own claim valve said that they can squish extra 50% battery life from only 25% batteries capacity increase.
minus-squaretan_phan_vt@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoValve philosophy is they do not promise anything, just deliver. Theres a chance they underestimate the upgrades they made for the new deck. At least they still deliver and ship the product instead of just scrapping the whole thing for not being enough of an upgrade like in the past.
