Valve's handheld Steam Deck will be officially released this month, and now some bloggers have also obtained the game console and disassembled it, so that everyone can get a glimpse of the hardware configuration, such as the processor that everyone cares about most. Previously, Valve said that steam Deck will use AMD's custom processors, including Zen 2 architecture CPU and RDNA 2 architecture GPU, and now after analysis, it is found that the processor used in this handheld is AMD's Van Gogh APU.
The Steam Deck processor uses 4 cores and 8 threads with a frequency of 3.5GHz, while the GPU uses the RDNA 2 architecture, with 8CU, equivalent to 512 stream processors, and the frequency reaches 1.6GHz, in addition to Valve also uses 16GB of LPDDR5-5500 memory, thus providing sufficient memory bandwidth for this APU. In fact, ATD has not officially released the Van Gogh APU, so the Steam Deck handheld is counted as the next generation of products, and from the performance point of view, it should be able to meet the smooth and stable operation of the game. In addition, the price is much higher than other Win10 handhelds.
Steam Deck has three different versions, of which the 64GB version is eMMC granules, while the 256GB and 512GB are PCIe 3.0 x4 SSDs, and the screen uses a 7-inch screen with a resolution of 1280*800. It seems that the Steam Deck is a very good handheld, and Valve also said that the deeply customized SteamOS has supported quite a few games, which can bring enough games to players. At present, this handheld has no intention of selling in China, but according to the current tightness of chip supply, it is estimated that steam Deck is also in short supply.
