To be fair it’s not really further innovation at this point. Selling under spec 5800x3d’s as a lower model just makes economic sense. AMD has been doing that since the phenom days with unstable x6 cpus being core locked and sold as x4.

People out here acting like AMD is looking out for the poor when they are justing rebranding a cpu to prevent losses.

Just wait til steam deck 2 drops quicker then expected and all these fomo buyers are gonna be taking another loss to sell their oled.

In a way steam is kind of forced to get something out quicker because competition is coming and higher performance is getting cheaper and cheaper. ROG ally and Legion Go is a good example of this competition. Most handheld pcs with their specs were $1100+ until they came out.

Steam doesn’t have the benefit someone like Nintendo has, who controls massive IPs on their platform. Hence why Nintendo can get away with selling a 6 year old glorified android tablet with an oled screen for $350. Anybody with a handheld pc can run steam and steam games.
