   Sorry, Valve just silenced all those #SteamDeck 2 rumors.

     It's seriously disappointing how many outlets today used language like "AMD has confirmed that Valve will be using one of its new handheld gaming PC processors, the Ryzen Z2 Series, inside a future model of Steam Deck."

     AMD never confirmed that. The authors clearly never reached out and asked AMD. They made correlations based on a leaked slide that had a picture of the existing Steam Deck on it, and I think that's pretty pathetic.

     Many of these articles are still not updated.

     @killyourfm It's a weirdly layed out slide for sure but knowing that they mean devices like the Steam Deck it fits together.

     @killyourfm yeah I've had to correct 3 friends and colleagues today talking about it...

     On the other hand this isn't the first time AMD have strongly implied deeply bogus info...
