Valve's Steam Deck 2 may use AMD's new "Gainsborough" chip built on 3nm process, potentially arriving in late 2027 or early 2028. The chip's codename references Final Fantasy VII character Aerith Gainsborough, matching the naming pattern of the original Steam Deck's Aerith chip. The sequel could feature Zen 6 CPU and RDNA 5 GPU architecture with improved performance and battery life, though pricing is expected to exceed the original $400 launch cost.
