That's better priced than I'd expect for a Max+ 395. I'm not gonna buy it though, the steam deck still works fine.

I don't really know anything about that CPU, but I assume it's pretty damn good considering the price of the whole unit, or at least it better be lol. How's that one compare to what's in the Steam Deck or the ROG Ally?

So the AI Max 395+ easily performs about 6 to 8 times faster than the Steam Deck, but it of course uses way more power to accomplish it.

I have a Framework Desktop with the 395+, I use it as a small form factor gaming PC and it can play any modern game at 1440p without upscaling on high graphics settings while maintaining 60fps. Max power draw of about 120 watts. It's also basically silent which is awesome.

I'd imagine if they limit power draw for a handheld, it'd probably run significantly more efficiently than either the steam deck or Ally though. But I also feel like throttling such a powerful iGPU seems kinda wasteful and the 385+ could work just as well at low power and cost less..
