Both sides have accidentally spilled the beans on this. AMD outed a new upcoming chip for their existing "handheld wins" (aka Steam Deck), Valve has confirmed they are already working on their next handheld, but then also said there "will be no Z2 Steam Deck" after AMD already outed their work on the next chip.

So that's Valve getting a chip AMD has already confirmed they are working on, and no other manufacturers have mentioned or have the sales numbers to get AMD interested. That's it right there.

Uhhh no one said that was for Steam Deck. Steam Deck did not use the Z1 chip so it would make sense they would also not use the Z2 chip.

Read my comment again. The only successful handheld as of now in this gen is the Deck. Nintendo doesn't use AMD at the moment, so it's not them, and nobody else has one.

Don't be dense.

No need, I read it the first time. Still think it's wrong. Or at least not backed up by any facts.

I don't believe that's true or they wouldn't be already into the second gen devices. Certainly at best that's just marketing from AMD.

Riiiight, so you read the part about them presenting it during their quarterly call, AND at a pressor event, and you're still in denial. Coooool 😎

What is "it"? I have no motive to deny anything. Just doesn't make any sense.
