Common questions on Steam, surfaced from across the indexed web.

What do the Steam Machine's new Geekbench CPU scores actually mean?

The Steam Machine's CPU is definitely trailing some chips that are already on the market, but context matters a lot in this scenario. AMD's custom chip for the Steam Machine features 6 cores, 12 threads, and a boost clock up to 4.86GHz. The Z1/Z2 Extreme and Core Ultra 7 chips feature 8 cores running at a higher TDP, which makes a big difference, especially in compact devices. So, yes, the Steam Machine might not have the strongest CPU power, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's going to perform worse than premium gaming handhelds.

Steam Machine CPU benchmark results don't compare well to current handhelds we've tested, but I'm not worried
Is the Steam Machine's perceived CPU performance gap a real issue?

The Steam Machine is expected to arrive with an RDNA 3 GPU featuring 8GB of VRAM. Unfortunately, I haven't yet seen any leaks in terms of the Steam Machine's GPU performance, but there are some hard facts to note. The Steam Machine's GPU is a far cry from the integrated chips in gaming handhelds that share system memory, and it's very likely that the boosted GPU performance will completely annul any CPU deficit. 👉 4 reasons why SteamOS is quietly winning over PC gamers — and why Windows won't be dethroned any time soon Where the CPU performance gap will most likely be felt is in huge open-worl

Steam Machine CPU benchmark results don't compare well to current handhelds we've tested, but I'm not worried
Is there any cause for panic regarding the Steam Machine's CPU performance?

I highly doubt that the Steam Machine's leaked CPU benchmark scores are anything to be concerned about. The performance level could be felt in some edge cases where games are CPU-bound, but otherwise I expect the superior GPU to pull a ton of weight. This is especially true considering the Steam Machine is intended to be a living room device running on common TV resolutions and frame rates. Valve has confirmed that its Steam Machine is still "shipping this summer" despite supply chain issues and rising hardware prices. There's still no word on pricing.

Which version of The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is the best?

Right now, the best version of The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium to play on TV is the PS5 Pro or a high-end PC that can somehow avoid the stuttering. The base PS5 version isn't bad, but it will look a bit soft at times if you play on a 4K display. I recommend trying the demo to see how it runs on your hardware before committing to the PC version. As for portable play, the Steam Deck delivers the most stable experience right now. If Square Enix can add a 30fps optional cap on Switch 2 handheld and increase the render resolution, that would be a better option since you get the flexibility
