Totally agree.
Not only they can’t sell the device at a loss, but also they have to use Windows for driver compatibility.
What’s holding back the Steam Deck, and the whole gaming on the go, it’s x86. For the rest, it’s x86 plus Windows plus drivers.
The one to win will be who makes a tightly coupled device that’s also efficient. Apple is good at that, but has nowhere near the catalogue than Steam and lacks a Steamworks SDK.
Intel meteor lake looks very appealing for next Gen consoles
I’ve heard that story a lot of times. Also, next gen consoles are going AMD unless Intel bows really down, which I haven’t seen in my lifetime.
I don't think I've ever seen consoles use Intel in history.
Wasn't the OG Xbox an Intel machine running some stripped down Windows install?
Yes it used a Pentium III clocked at 733Mhz iirc.
