Yeah. Basically a desktop Radeon 7400 or Mobile Radeon 7600M.

It's not a 4k 60fps machine like they advertised, it would likely struggle with 1080P medium settings in modern games.

16GB of Ram sucks.
CPU being only 6 cores is not the end of the world, but it will lack longevity, for any gaming machine you need 8 cores or better ideally, especially in CPU intensive games like Civilization which benefits greatly from the extra resources.

Interesting.

I saw an article earlier today about the rumored new controller, and it's now confirmed to be true... like a post from MLID saying that Valve would reveal something today. 

We'll see how Valve prices it because, let's face it, the GPU isn't exactly great (what is it, a 7600M?) and those 8GB of VRAM could become a problem with newer games. But I still haven't checked the DF video.

The headset is also surprising. I thought they'd try to use the hardware of the Deck to make it easier to run games and other software, but ARM makes more sense.

Keep in mind that idiot "MLID" also said that the Steam Machine would be running with Zen6 CPU cores and would compete with Sony's Playstation 6 console.
So whilst he is correct on some stuff... He is grossly incorrect on many others.

My comment was more in line of "Hey, he got something right for once!", not to praise him or anything.

Also, the CPU in the Steam Machine will be more than fine as it will be the GPU that will be the bottleneck here. An 8-core one would have been a waste of resources and add unnecessary costs.
