    Absolutely not. This thing is going to perform horribly because half the processor die is dedicated to something nobody’s gonna use.

    If this were a business laptop then I’d understand adding AI. But this is a gaming handheld, how the hell will this help?

      It has an NPU, so should see no performance loss from AI. The opposite is probably true, it’ll be fast at AI and more efficient.

          This is taking a laptop CPU and stuffing it in a handheld. The laptop CPU already has the npu and removing it would require a new SKU which would cost money for special handling for packaging, new firmware, new drivers, and probably more costs I haven’t considered. You would save on the silicon but unless they have high volume, removing the npu is likely more expensive.

    I love my steam deck and I doubt I would be replacing it any time soon, but if someone comes up with something with a more appealing form factor, like something that can fit in my pocket then I’m sold. It doesn’t need to be super graphics intensive, just needs to be able to play some easy to pickup-and-play games like stardew and slay the spire.
