Leaks Suggest Valve's Steam Deck 2 Uses AMD's 'Gainsborough' Chip
Leaks indicate Valve's next handheld will use a semi-custom AMD chip codenamed 'Gainsborough,' built on TSMC's 3nm process. The name references the original chip's Final Fantasy VII theme, suggesting a significant generational leap. While specific performance metrics are unconfirmed, the device is expected to launch in late 2027 or early 2028, with pricing likely higher than the original due to memory costs.
