Valve gave us the strongest wording yet that a Steam Deck 2 is actually real, although it's still clearly going to be some time away before there's enough of an upgrade.

Asking for a handheld the performance necessary to run a VR headset is too much

Quest is doing it with less power than a current Steam Deck.

You’re incorrect, and that’s okay. We’re talking about some future date where technology that doesn’t exist today is available. We can ask for anything we want.

Maybe, depending upon how it is implemented.

If they somehow use those AMD NPU’s as accelerators to handle spatial recognition, then it might be possible to at least add some of the needed functionality behind AR/VR without pounding the APU.

Or, considering it might be ARM, it might be an in-house or even AMD designed SoC with all the necessary bells and whistles to implement at the very least AR.

I’d buy the heck out of an AMD ARM device.

I ran Alyx with a WMR headset and a mobile 1060. It wasn’t fantastic but it ran well enough that the experience wasn’t diminished. A next gen Deck could easily handle it
