I hope that prototype with the 3x 8-pin connectors isn't an indication of the power the top card will need. For Intel's sake.

By the way, this is something that may interest you, Yuri, as well as others:

Emulation on the Steam Deck is already getting way more convenient
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/emulation-on-the-steam-deck-is-already-getting-way-more-convenient/
When the Steam Deck launched back in February I was already excited about it as an emulation device. I spent hours of my testing time playing games like Metroid Prime and Persona 3 on the Deck after setting up retro console emulators, which was only a little fiddly (the biggest inconvenience was having to use a trackpad to mouse around interfaces that were really built for desktops). It wasn't bad if you already knew your way around the emulators, but it was definitely more work to launch your emulated games than anything in your Steam library.

Now just over a month into the Steam Deck's life, emulation has become considerably easier to set up—my emulated games now live in my Steam library side-by-side with my PC games, and I can launch them with a single click.

A number of tools have popped up recently to make emulation configuration easier on the Steam Deck, but the one I used to streamline my setup was EmuDeck, which lured me in with its dead simple five step setup. Could it really be that easy? Actually, yeah, pretty much. 

Yea I have been following Steam Deck news pretty closely and they have been good at both acknowledging and fixing a lot of the issues I had pretty rapidly. I doubt they will be able to fix my biggest complaint which is the fan's high pitched noise but if they can do that, I'll rebuy mine but that would obviously require a hardware revision.
