Valve has supposedly been developing a new VR headset code named the "Deckard," one that will cost $1,200 when it launches at the end of this year.

See full article...
 
Valve speculated to launch all these 4 devices together

  1. Fremont — TV console
    1. a TV focused PC box/console running SteamOS.
    2. Has dedicated HDMI port
    3. Has a semi-custom CPU based on Hawk Point 2
    4. But with a removed iGPU. And dedicated RX 7600 GPU (No shared RAM)
    5. Has custom Valve mobo/case
  2. Ibex — gamepad for above
  3. Deckard — arm powered XR headset
  4. Roy — controller for Deckard

I still dont think VR will truly be a thing yet. I could see an AR gaming experience truly catch on first.
 
A 7600 makes zero sense in a box launching at the end of this year, that's a two and a half year old card. My guess is that it's a placeholder card in developer kits to emulate something that wasn't available yet (either a chungus iGPU, or a 9600).

Strix halo makes a good fit for the gpu
But the cpu is too powerful for this use case

Probably unsold laptop parts of Hawk Point & 7600m is my best guess

The current leaked Fremont specs are very competitive with xbox series S
 
A set top box is cool (and I'd very likely pick one up), but what I'm really excited for is that controller. The trackpad is the one feature I miss most after moving to the ROG Ally.

Spec-wise it seems a bit low to me too (especially the 8GB VRAM), however if they can price this right and optimize games for it like they did for the Steam Deck, I could see it doing well-ish.

I'd be curious if the big boys (Lenovo, ASUS, MSI) will release their own version of Fremont with better specs.

I should hope they would use a FSR 4 capable GPU.
