The upgraded mobile chip they use will likely be as powerful as our current Steam Decks but with better power draw, since they're mobile architectures and not x64. That said, you couldn't pay me to buy another Nintendo console at this point.

    There is no indication of such a chip existing or even being possible currently. The Tegra revision rumored to be in the Switch 2 is a good deal less powerful than a Steam Deck.

    Yeah. Rumored computational power, claimed to be coming from development units, puts it at a healthy fraction of the Steam Deck's when docked, but a much smaller one when undocked. So, people shouldn't get their hopes up about a Steam Deck+ coming from Nintendo.
