      My guess is, they want it to use ARM processors for better battery life. They might be using Frame as a kind of test platform for that, and when FEX is good enough, they can go ahead with Deck 2.

      I would guess and kinda hope so? And then merge the steam machine/deck verified status together later in life?

        i think they mean more in terms of relative performance, so that “Steam Machine Verified” also means “Steam Deck 2 verified”. But I guess from a dev perspective, that is not exactly a “single target”, as diff hw means diff optimizations are required.
