     Those are benchmark results at the system's full 80W, but what if you go closer to handheld territory?

     ETA Prime throttled the Asus ROG Flow Z13 to 20W, and played Forza Horizon 5 at 1200p, with Medium graphics and *no* FSR enabled.

     He got more than 90FPS.

     #SteamDeck 2 when???

     @ReverseModule Yea, this thing absolutely embarrasses my Asus ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition (with the 6800M). I'm definitely drooling over it, but that price is tough to swallow.

     @ReverseModule Man, Valve could slap this in a miniPC right now, call it a Steam Machine, and it would probably sell like crazy.

     @killyourfm I mean I won't get it day 1 either but still I can get it in some months or next year (when it will probably be available in Greece). As
     a product it seems seriously good though, which is the main thing.

     @ReverseModule HAHA! I don't have any knowledge of the internal testing at Valve, but I can still guarantee they've already played with this processor in a variety of configurations.

     And what I know for sure is Zen 5 is the path forward for the next generation of handhelds.

     @killyourfm gotta be realistic though, that's a brand new top-end APU, using something like that will push prices up by quite a bit for a SD2

     @gamingonlinux Oh yea, this is absolutely not a handheld processor, but it gives us a peek into the true power of Zen 5 and what it can do for handhelds. One can easily imagine a cut-down version of this for a 1080p handheld.

     @killyourfm by the time Valve are ready for the SD2, we're likely in Zen 6 territory, so even lower-end will be impressive yet again

     as always with tech, the grass on the other side looks tasty

     i'm so excited though, when Valve do the SD2 it will be a revolution all over again if they keep the price reasonable
