Gaming Consoles Valve

The 512GB Steam Deck OLED is an updated version of the popular portable console from Steam, which sets trends in the mobile gaming market. This version uses an OLED screen, which provides vivid colors and deep blacks. One of the key features of the Steam Deck is the touchscreen-adapted SteamOS shell based on Arch Linux with access to an extensive library of Steam games, most of which have already been adapted for the mobile console. Steam Deck OLED is powered by a custom AMD processor (3.5 GHz, Zen 2 architecture) with four physical cores and the ability to process data in eight threads. Graphics performance is provided by an AMD RDNA 2 video processor with eight computing units operating at a frequency of up to 1.6 GHz. The device is equipped with 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and offers an increased amount of memory compared to the original model, including an NVMe SSD with a capacity of 512 or 1000 GB. This is a pretty significant improvement, which significantly expands the storage options for your game library without the need for memory cards. Although the console's hardware is a bit outdated compared to its newer competitors, it still delivers decent performance thanks to its 720p screen resolution, while most competitors are tuned for the more demanding 1080p resolution. In most games, the console delivers frame rates of 30 to 40 frames per second at medium graphics settings, although results may vary depending on the specific game.

Valve's portable pocket computer that can run almost any PC game from the Steam library, allowing you to play the conventional Cyberpunk 2077 or the new COD, lounging on the couch. The main charm of the console lies in the huge Steam game library, which has hundreds of AAA projects of recent years, long-forgotten hits of the past and numerous single or multiplayer indie games. The game is controlled using touch panels, buttons and sticks on the front panel, as well as two touch pads on the rear panel. Responsible for displaying the image is a 7-inch touch screen with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels and a refresh rate of 60 Hz, which provides a clear and bright picture. In addition, the device can work in desktop mode, allowing you to connect to monitors, keyboards and mice, as well as use other applications such as browsers and word processing programs. Hidden inside the compact Steam Deck is a 4-core, 8-thread AMD APU Zen 2 processor that runs at 2.4GHz and has an RDNA 2 GPU with 8 compute units. The device is equipped with 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM. The internal storage is a 64 GB eMMC class memory card, which, if necessary, can be replaced with a larger version with up to 2 TB, which should be enough for most players. Steam Deck supports 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 wireless connections, and has a built-in USB-C port for docking and other devices. The built-in battery provides up to 8 hours of continuous play. The operating time is highly dependent on optimization, graphics level and load on the processor and video card.
