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.
Apple plans to release an updated full-sized HomePod featuring improved Siri AI support, faster processing, enhanced audio quality, and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, though the launch date remains unconfirmed. The company discontinued the original model in 2021, reintroduced it in 2023 at $299, and recently raised the price to $349.
