Potential Steam Deck 2 Chip Shows Up in Leaked Benchmarks, Yet Another Potential Final Fantasy-Themed Codename

A leaked benchmark suggests Valve’s next handheld, a potential Steam Deck 2, could be moving toward an AMD APU codenamed “Gainsborough.” The benchmark, posted on OpenBenchmarking, points to a 6-core/12-thread CPU paired with 24GB of LPDDR5 memory. The GPU details aren’t provided, leaving the graphics performance unclear. This isn’t the first time “Gainsborough” has surfaced; earlier this month, Moore’s Law is Dead reported import documents for the chip using the same “GBR” abbreviation seen in the engineering sample. Performance in the leak looks similar to the original Steam Deck, though it was tested at 768p versus 800p, and on early drivers.
