minus-squareShaturlinkfedilinkarrow-up17·10 months agoCool, the more Linux-based handhelds, the better! I would prefer a handheld with RK3588S, but this one is interesting too.
minus-squareIndustryStandard@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·10 months agoThe AMD apu is far superior but also far more expensive. Their gpu is just unbeatable. Also software support is guaranteed on x86.
minus-squareShaturlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoSure, but I usually run emulators and open source ports, so with an ARM I would have more battery life.
minus-squareIndustryStandard@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·10 months agoNo you wouldn’t. The Rockchips are far less efficient than AMD’s modern X86 stuff. AMD’s new stuff is on par with the M1 in efficiency.

minus-squareconciselyverbose@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up7·10 months agoI don’t know if he’s correct on low power use cases, but the cooling is way more about the high power use cases. The steam deck can chew through it’s battery in ~2 hours or last something in the neighborhood of 8-10 depending what you run on it.
