Yes, this puts them on equal footing with Microsoft and Sony, which implies that the Steam Deck is selling very well.

I wouldn’t quite say that. Significant chunks of RDNA2 go back to Microsoft telling AMD things that they required from the graphics architecture of the next Xbox, back in 2016. I’m sure Sony did similar.

Valve in this case was able to take advantage of this increased R&D aspect of RDNA2 and get a custom chip based on it, but I don’t think they would have that same position in the development of the architecture, if that makes sense.

Of course, I’m a beneficiary of all of the above!

The Venn Diagram is a circle.

I really really hate this naming scheme and always have. Why must the APUs of a generation have numbers that look like a new gen?

I got the same bundle. One warning: the WiFi chip AMD picked for this mobo is the worst I’ve ever used. I would recommend replacing it with the Intel one. Only costs about $10. Much easier to do before your computer is cased up.

Remedy has a dev who only uses Radeon cards and has been working on the FSR implementation for months to maximize its quality. The same dev who tweeted about the mesh shader requirements actually.

No idea why the replies are full of people claiming this guy is shilling for nVidia. He’s obviously not happy about this state of affairs.
