Steam Machine one step closer to launch as benchmarks surface online, here's how it compares to the Steam Deck

Back-to-back benchmarks of the Steam Machine (code-named Valve Fremont) have been recently uploaded to the Geekbench database, giving us an early insight into what kind of power the cubed mini PC will offer. It may also suggest that hardware reviewers now have their hands on the device ahead of launch, which Valve recently confirmed for this summer.

One of the last official things Valve put out there was the ‘Verified’ requirements for the device, along with the Steam Frame, which will also be released during the summer. An easy rule of thumb is that any Steam Deck Verified will already be Steam Machine Verified – unsurprising, since the Steam Machine is said to be 6x more powerful, as per Valve’s marketing.
