New OLED screen. New APU. And lots of small hardware improvements.

I doubt it. x86_64 might not be efficient, but it has many instructions that aren't in ARM. Plus you'd lose out on AMD's GPU.

    People are already using it to run various games.

    This person is using it to play world of Warcraft on a raspberry pi.

    I’m not saying it’s perfect and ready to go, but if valve puts a few engineers on it, we could have some decent performance in a few years. Just look at how far proton has come.

    Maybe after we see that new Snapdragon on Windows PC, and enough games run on ARM Windows, then Valve would consider switching chip.

    I don't see why they would lead the way on that front, in addition to the software compatibility layer between Linux and Windows.
