Valve quickly shoots down Steam Deck 2 rumours just as AMD announces a new processor designed for handhelds like the Steam Deck

"The new Ryzen Z2 series of APUs is designed for low-power devices, such as gaming handhelds, with AMD revealing that several partners are lined up for upgrades."

"Valve engineer Pierre-Loup Griffais quickly clarified that there will be no Z2 Steam Deck, suggesting the announcement slide was misleading and not specific to their products."

"Valve has stated they aren't interested in designing a new Steam Deck unless it offers a meaningful generational upgrade, with any new model likely not arriving until late 2025."

"Despite the excitement around AMD’s new Z2 processor, it will not power a Steam Deck, highlighting the ongoing gap between expectations and current product reality."
