YouTuber tries to replicate Steam Machine performance to see if Valve’s promised 4K 60 FPS and 6x GPU boost are realistic, and even tests PS3 emulation (www.notebookcheck.net)

A popular YouTube channel has attempted to recreate the Steam Machine’s expected behaviour by building a compact PC configured to mimic Valve’s leaked CPU, GPU and power limits. Their goal is to test claims such as 4K 60 FPS gaming and higher-end emulation support.

Valve’s Steam Machine is still months away from launch, but that has not stopped the enthusiast community from trying to approximate the device’s real-world performance. The YouTube channel The Phawx has taken that idea to the extreme by building a compact PC designed to behave almost exactly like Valve’s upcoming hybrid console. Rather than simply using similar parts, the channel attempts to replicate the Steam Machine’s CPU behaviour, GPU constraints, power limits and overall system architecture as closely as possible.

If this device can handle PS3 emulation pretty well, it would absolutely be something I'd love. Obviously the steam deck can handle PS3 but I would love to have something more powerful that can handle it without overheating.
