Pulled out specifications of AMD Aerith Plus chip on steam deck 2

Details on the next generation Steam Deck will continue to be created as a shipping protocol from NBD, which will be the existence of the Aerith Plus SOC-a improved version of the aerith chips currently used in the steam deck. According to the trimmed data, Aerith Plus has a maximum clock rate of 3.8 GHz, which is 300 MHz higher than the 3.5 GHz of the original aerith. In addition, this SOC has a maximum TDP of 20 W compared to 15 W of its predecessor.

The first generation steam deck, which is equipped with the aerith chip based on the Zen 2 architecture, has decreased in performance compared to devices with Zen 4 such as the Asus Rog Ally and Lenovo Legion Go.

Aerith is the code name for the SoC specially developed by AMD, which contains a Zen 2 architecture with 4 cores, 8 threads and an integrated GPU based on RDNA 2. The Aerith Plus version is expected to achieve significant performance improvements. In addition to the increased clock speed, its integrated GPU could reach a maximum frequency of 1.8 GHz to 200 MHz via the 1.6 GHz GPU on the original aerith. In addition, the LPDDR5X memory of Samsung is paired with 8,533 mt/s, a significant upgrade of the current LPDDR5 at 6,400 mt/s.

The upgrade from AMD to the SOC for the next generation Steam Deck suggests that Valve is preparing for a large leap for performance for his handheld gaming device. Last year Valve confirmed that the next generation Steam Deck offers significantly better performance than the current version. If the leaks are exactly, Aerith Plus could be an adapted version of the Kraken Point Processor series, which is based on the Zen 5 architecture and contains up to 8 cores, 16 threads and an integrated GPU with 12 computing units. This would lead to significant improvements in graphics processing and the overall performance.

However, there is still no official information about the steam deck 2 or the detailed specifications of the Aerith Plus SOC. The first leaks indicate that the device could start next year, but confirmation from the valve or AMD is still required.
