They moved the Surface team to Xbox and cut the Surface division down, now they are posting job openings seeking ARM devs for Xbox too. The handheld will have a 5G antenna that allows it to tap in Azure resources for Cloud Compute and will also be formidable in its own right with an energy efficient cpu/gpu.

tldr: it’s over Sony

After losing to Sony their new strategy is to try and take on Nintendo? I’m sure this will end well…

No it will output to a display at higher res and more frames than Sony could ever dream of. You’re finished.

the switch 2 is overpriced and not that much better than switch 1. no reason to buy it.

This is the chip it's expected to run. I've been saying for the longest time you don't need more than 4 CPU cores to run Windows.

https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/handhelds/ryzen-z-series/z2-series/z2-go.html

This device looks like Microsoft's attempt to keep their ecosystem relevant to gamers. SteamOS is a Linux distro, and Valve is trying to move everything over to Linux. The only thing we know for sure is this won't be a Linux device. It will be Windows running on 4 cores, the way it was meant to be.

Microsoft isn't Linux-averse. They built an entire Linux subsystem for Windows. ARM would be a better choice than another middling AMD APU.
