Any reason why it uses arm over x86 unlike the steam deck? I always thought that for handhelds arm was better and for desktops and things that have a constant supply of electricity x86 was better? But with steam it's reversed? I'm not in it or anything so I wouldn't know.

Steam Machine is X86, Steam Frame is ARM. It will be for power efficiency in the VR headset.
