    I thought 7000 series production was winding down? It'd be odd if a 7000-series GPU made it into a future shipping system.

    It could be a 'testing' analogue for an 8000-series Strix Halo APU I guess, or maybe even an unreleased one.

    Please stay a testing device with those 8 GB RAM.

    That would need to be low end gaming PC, not that that's a bad experience just that such a PC shouldn't be much if any more expensive than a PS5. Maybe it'll be real cheap for OEMs to clear off the shelves of 7600 cards but I wouldn't want to recommend anyone anything less than an rx 9060. Good performance bump over the 7600 and FSR4

    I think the Steam Deck showed that people don't really need top of the line graphics to have fun. It's just the marketing of triple A games that push graphics graphics graphics and Nvidia want you buying a GPU every year so have their hand in that too. FSR shouldn't even be in the discussion.

    An affordable Steam Machine would go a long way to replacing traditional consoles, with Proton running most games now, I see a lot of people enjoying a device like this. There could always be more powerful options later. This is all speculation though, we don't really know what Valve is doing and this could just be experimentation towards a new Steam Deck.

    Or AMD's next APU is on that level and they're testing with a comparable target for the next Steam Deck.

    Early Steam Deck had also just 8GB RAM and featured a Zen+ based Ryzen 7 3700U.
