For example with a Ryzen 3 or 5? Or in between?

I have a laptop with a Ryzen 5 6 cores and 12 threads. Would this be better than the Steam Deck’s CPU?

    The Ryzen 3, 5 and 7 designations, along with Intel’s equivalents i3, i5, and i7, are meaningless outside comparing within a particular generation. It’s basically a good, better, best rating system (which is already vague), and only means anything when comparing with siblings in the same line. Given enough generations, a Ryzen 3 could actually be better than a Ryzen 7 in an older gen.
