     @Tau 15W is the maximum TDP for Steam Deck. This is a fair comparison.

     @killyourfm Could you do the benchmarks at the same wattage? It seems a little unfair to comparte at different wattages, specially for a portable console.

     That's what Digital Foundry does in their reviews

     As usual, Steam Deck punches way above its weight considering the 15W TDP.
     It'll be interesting to see a direct comparison between the Legion Go + Legion Go S at 1920x1200, though. That's next.

     Ok now we're looking at native resolution, and it's still a pretty close race between the Z1 Extreme in the Legion Go and the Z2 Go in the Legion Go S.

     BUT, you'll feel the difference when it comes to minimum framerates. I suspect that will be a trend as the testing continues.

     IMPORTANT.
     When restricting the Legion Go and Legion Go S to 15W, it illustrates just how amazingly optimized the Steam Deck still is. Holding its own despite having a processor that is less powerful. EVEN AT above its native resolution (via an external monitor)!

     This is a thread I'll definitely pull on in my reviews.
