I'm not sure where you could get hold of an original Steam Deck at that has never received one single update, but I think it might be a worthy review to compare "Steam Deck 1.0" to Steam Deck today with all these updates and see how different it is.

Most importantly, how differently (probably better) it performs. (I think probably excluding overclocking, or OC separate)

I think you're being extremely silly if you think launch Steam Deck and its version of SteamOS, GPU drivers, etc are somehow going to have better gaming performance or compatibility than a presently-updated unit. The device basically released in Early Access, and I say this as an early adopter.

I meant that the new one would be faster.

Did this really need clarification? Really?

To be frank, it did because text is a limited medium and people are confusing.

But yeah, I see what you mean now. Newer updates are a straight upgrade in every way, I assure you. I'm actually going to be testing OC performance vs pre-OC perf on my own Deck soon to see if it can't now force 40/60 FPS in games where it used to not be possible.

We need the next version of steam deck with Zen 5C cores for longer battery life and less heat output!
