As Steam Deck is about to go on sale, it can be said that more and more actual test reports and videos have appeared recently. In addition to playing games smoothly, handheld game consoles have good battery life? It is also a point that many people will pay attention to. Recently, a YouTuber abroad conducted a test of power consumption and average FPS. It was found that Steam Deck was in low power consumption, and all tests were superior to its opponents (GPD Win 3, AYA NEO RETRO POWER, AYANEO NEXT), the performance is quite dazzling, which also means that Steam Deck can provide game performance similar to that of competitors without using too much power consumption, which is relatively more power-efficient. In addition, there were CPU benchmarks suspected to be Steam Deck earlier, which will be sorted out for you below.
Steam Deck beats rivals in average FPS at low power
The foreign YouTube channel The Phawx shared a fairly complete video of the Steam Deck power consumption comparison and game test report a few days ago, from running score comparison, game play, SSD and MicroSD reading game time, all the way to endurance test. .
The following two are the competitors he compares:
- GPD Win 3 running Windows 11 21H2
- AYA NEO RETRO POWER, AYANEO NEXT service Windows 10 21H2
First up is the Heaven Ultra Extreme 800p LOW FPS test mode, with TDP (power consumption) at the bottom of the graph, from 5W all the way up to 15W. Before 7W Steam Deck completely defeated the opponent, 7W can provide an average of 10.8 FPS, at 8W, although GPD Win 3 catches up, even 9W and 10W are still ahead, but the 11W~15W part of the Steam Deck can almost be said to be a strong pressure, just 26.6 FPS at 11W It is higher than the 15W of the other two:
Valley 800p Ultra LOW FPS is a complete victory. Steam Deck can provide an average performance of 24.1 FPS with a power consumption of 8W. The other two need 15W, and the power consumption difference is nearly double: 
Superposition 1080p Medium LOW FPS is more powerful, Steam Deck can provide an average of 13.91FPS with a power consumption of 7W, which is higher than the performance of the other two 15W: 
For the actual test, please watch the video at the end of the article directly, the screenshots are not easy to present. The SSD and MicroSD read the game time. Not surprisingly, the SSD is faster, but the MicroSD is not bad. He tested a variety of games, and the biggest gap may be only 17 seconds. If you don’t pay attention, you will not feel it. The whole read time is still fast:
The endurance test is divided into two parts. The first is the limit pressure, which is to adjust the settings to test the fastest time to run out of power. The measured time is about 90 minutes. If the average power consumption is 6.5W, the endurance can exceed 6 hours:
Those who have time highly recommend watching the full test video:
Recently, in the Geekbench database, a test result with the model name Valve Jupiter appeared, and it should be Steam Deck. Geekbench 5 scored 830 for single core and 3666 for multi-core:
Probably similar to AMD Ryzen 3000 series:
As for the GPU is not clear. Steam Deck will be officially launched on February 25th, and the Taiwan part does not know if it will come in.
