    It’s almost the exact same performance profile - calling it a Deck 2 would be borderline consumer fraud. But more importantly, Valve want to be very consistent in their communication with developers: just like a console, all Steam Decks are designed to be almost interchangeable from a developer perspective, with only slight differences at most. When Valve release a device that developers need to target differently from the current Deck, that will be the Deck 2.

      There is a bigger gap in performance between the deck & deck oled than intel’s 12-14th gen processors, yet no one is calling the 14th gen the 12th gen++.

      There is absolutely no fraud and claiming it is is batshit crazy to me. There is no arbitrary definition of how much improvement is enough to “justify” calling it a new generation. The standard for most companies is to release a new product every year and call it the old +1, regardless of how much difference there is.
