It's weaker in GPU than the PS5/XSX. It's basically a desktop RX 6600. Whereas the RX 6600 XT is a better match for the PS5. So the PS5/XSX have roughly 20-30% more GPU power.

CPU should be a fair bit better though with Zen 4 and much higher clocks, even if it has less threads.

As an owner of the original steam controller... I also don't like the look of the new controller, but any USB controller will work with the steam machine so not really an issue.

Then it also could mean that the machine will be rather cheap as in 700$ range?  Controller probably be +100$ =p

If they can hit $699 for the 2TB model I think it would be very nice. Much more and it starts getting a bit rough with those specs. It's definitely a device with budget built in mind considering it's using old tech for both the cpu/gpu, and low-midrange in pc terms at that.

The size is quite nice, it's significantly smaller than the Series X at 4.09 Litres, instead of 6.86 Litres.
