idk who that guy is but I couldn't think of how to word the title, sorry

valve allready published pretty detailed tech specs
Interesting - did it always have the storage models?
Two Steam Machine models
512GB NVMe SSD
2TB NVMe SSD
Both models include a high-speed microSD card slot
"Alleged"? Haven't we known this for months?
Shit you're right, I got misled by whoever shared it to me saying it leaked, I'll update the title
How much?
Lots of people estimated ~$800 based on the specs and Valve's statement that it will be priced similar to a comparable PC. But that was several months ago, so probably $900-1000 by now.
Nobody knows the final retail price. Probably not even Valve. Educated guesses are in the 600-1200 USD range. Valve have already said that it wouldn't be a loss leader, and that they'd made painful sacrifices to ensure an affordable price.
Do we know how this will compare to the rdna 3 stack? I’m assuming somewhere between 7700 and 7800?
No, weaker. It's an overclocked 7600M (laptop GPU). There's many leaks that show that Valve specifically targeted a low cost by using laptop components that AMD couldn't sell.
The CPU is also weak: it has 2 big cores and 4 little cores. Estimated cost of materials (before the RAM shortage) was ~425 USD, now the cost of materials is ~550 USD
So I have basically a whole pc leftover, 11600k + 7700xt from upgrades over the last year or two which is why I was asking. I guess that’d be fairly more powerful. 4k felt pretty bad on it though.
Edit: I’m assuming fsr is the “4k 60” req. I wonder if that’s going to include framegen?
So, $ 633 - $ 715 if they go by average markup margins (15-30%). But that's a big IF. Seeing as this is a low volume product compared to giants like Apple or Dell for example, I would expect the possibility of even greater numbers. I am assuming Valve is underestimating the initial demand and does not plan to market the product outside of their current countries and is not planning to advertise the product heavily.
Anybody else mildly surprised it isn't based on an APU with unified memory, like a cheaper/slower Framework Desktop?
I don't think there are any 'cheap' Strix Halo chips out there, Valve probably got a massive discount (relatively) by using previous gen. laptop parts
They say it's a custom design, so surely they could've custom-designed it to be unified rather than discrete if they wanted. I guess maybe they were trying to make sure it would only be bought by gamers by deliberately making it less versatile for AI?
