ARM processor instead of x86?

That's my secret hope, since they already have the Frame on ARM. This would make the release of a separate ARM based Steam OS more likely and my tablet will be very thankful for that.

There is already an arm version of the steam client you can download right now.

I'm talking about the Steam OS, not the Steam client.

I’ve been using the ARM version on Rocknix and it’s amazing. The power efficiency while maintaining graphic quality is really surprising. I sure hope SteamDeck 2 is ARM. I’d be a little surprised if not.
