The rumors about Fremont have finally come true and Valve has presented a new Steam Machine based on a custom processor with AMD's Zen 4 and a dedicated RDNA-3 graphics card, which is also a full-fledged desktop PC with the Arch Linux-based SteamOS. In an extremely compact housing with dimensions of 152 × 162 × 156 mm (H×D×W), the new Steam Machine combines a total of 6 Zen-4 processor cores with a combined 1,792 FP32 shader units from 28 compute units.
Steam Machine with AMD Zen 4, RDNA 3 and SteamOS Specs and GPU Details
The Zen-4 processor with 6C/12T, specially optimized by AMD for Valve, operates at a clock frequency of up to 4.8 GHz with a TDP of 30 watts and is flanked by 16 gibytes of DDR5 RAM. The RDNA-3 graphics card, which is slightly below an AMD Radeon RX 7600 with Navi 33 XL in terms of specifications, has 8 gibytes of GDDR6 graphics memory and is limited to 110 watts by the manufacturer. Users will have the choice of hard disk space between SSDs with 512 GiByte and 2 TB.
The full-fledged desktop PC with SteamOS offers 1 × HDMI 2.0 for up to 4K/UHD with 120 Hz and 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 for up to 4K/UHD with 240 Hz and 8K/UHD-II with 60 Hz as well as 2 × USB-A 3.2 Gen 1, 1 × USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 and 2 × USB 2.0. Gigabit Ethernet and Wi-Fi 6E with 2 × 2 MU-MIMO take care of the network connection, while an integrated 2.4GHz wireless adapter connects the new Steam Controller.
While the new Steam Controller takes over the touchpads known from the Steam Deck and Steam Deck OLED and thus significantly simplifies mouse input via the gamepad, an ARGB bar with 17 customizable LEDs informs about the status of the new Steam Machine.
Valve would like to officially announce prices and a possible release date for the new Steam Machine and the new Steam Controller, which will also be available individually, only at the beginning of 2026.
