Everything you need to know about the upcoming Steam Machine from Valve. Plus the release date, price and specs for the Steam Machine, new Controller and Frame.
Most interesting thing to me is the Frame apparently runs a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and is using SteamOS, implying official ARM support for SteamOS, Steam and Proton!
Could mean steam and proton coming to android too.
They mention also wanting to run games on it locally with SteamOS. Plus it’s a beefy ARM processor. They coulda saved quite a bit with a lower end processor if it was gonna be solely wireless steaming.

On the Linus Tech Tips video they revealed that it is using the open-source FEX x86 emu (which development supported by Valve).
hopefully this makes ARM-based Linux handhelds more suitable too! that would be awesome
Unsure that it runs the games.
I’ve seen it called a “wireless streaming” HMD.

The LTT showcase literally mentions LEX. An x86 to ARM translation add-on for Proton.
This is insane.
Both
They extended Proton with instruction translation (FEX)
