AMD's new 'Gainsborough' APU rumoured to be the chip that powers the long-awaited Steam Deck 2
A rumored AMD APU codenamed 'Gainsborough' is expected to power the next-generation Steam Deck 2, according to a YouTube leak. This chip, built on TSMC's advanced N3P node, is anticipated to offer a significant performance leap over the original Steam Deck, aligning with Valve's desire for a major generational upgrade rather than an incremental one. The Gainsborough APU is expected to feature AMD's Zen 6 CPU and RDNA 5 GPU architectures, potentially mirroring technologies planned for future consoles.
