I know you aren't... but please confirm me that you're not thinking about something too complex like a CPU or GPU.

Valve has around 300 employees.
I don't think Valve could enter the GPU / CPU market given their current size.
Unless they either: expand the company, or collaborate with an established designer (AMD, Nvidia, Intel, etc): I can't see them designing a complex CPU or GPU.

Controllers and co-processors should be a reachable target.
Stuff like their VR base-stations and controllers could benefit from custom hardware.

Good. You got me worried for a sec .

CPU and GPU are way out of reach. They would need to multiply their employes by tens if not hundreds.

But, as you said, chips for controllers or wifi (the Steam Link) could be doable.
