    Is Valve ditching custom APU?

    In this episode of the NerdNest podcast, Bill, Russ, and Rich dive into the latest handheld gaming news, rumors, and industry shifts. We break down the massive leaks regarding the Steam Deck 2 release date and its potential APU specifications, including why Valve might move away from semi-custom chips. We also tackle the controversial Nintendo Switch 2 pricing strategy. Is Nintendo lowering digital prices or stealthily raising physical game costs? Plus, we discuss Sony's PlayStation 6 (PS6) rumors, including a potential handheld companion and the new "PlayGo" asset delivery system that mirrors Xbox Smart Delivery. Finally, we look at the shocking Lenovo Legion Go price increase, a major breakthrough in PS3 emulation (RPCS3), and Valve's rumored Steam Frame Rate Estimator. Topics Covered: Steam Deck 2 Leaks: Rumored 2028 release and hardware changes. Nintendo Switch 2 News: Physical vs. Digital pricing and the "exclusive" game policy. Sony PS6 Handheld: Will the PlayStation 6 launch with a portable version? Lenovo Legion Go: Why prices for the Z2 Extreme model are skyrocketing. Gaming Hot Takes: Are game review scores outmoded? Is OLED on handhelds overrated? PS3 Emulation: The latest SPU performance breakthrough for RPCS3. What We're Playing: In-depth impressions of Crimson Desert and the roguelike coin-pusher Raccoin. 🔔Get notified! https://www.youtube.com/c/NerdNest?sub_confirmation=1 ——————————— 🎯SUPPORT THE CHANNEL ——————————— ▶️Support on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/NerdNestPodcast ▶️Join us! https://www.youtube.com/nerdnest/join ▶️Humble Bundle Partner Link - https://www.humblebundle.com/?partner=nerdnest ▶️ Amazon Link - https://amzn.to/4lzF4wY ▶️Nerd Nest Merch - nerdnest.dashery.com ——————————— ⚠️CONNECT ——————————— ▶️ VOICECAST - https://voicecast.app/nerdnest ▶️ BLUESKY - https://bsky.app/profile/nerdnest.tv ▶️ NERD NEST DISCORD - http://nerdnest.tv/discord ▶️THREADS - https://www.threads.net/@billfairchild ▶️ NERD NEST TWEETS - https://twitter.com/NerdNestTV ——————————— 🎧PODCASTS ——————————— ▶️ THE NERD NEST PODCAST- http://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nerdnest ▶️ 143 PIXELS - http://nerdnest.tv/143 ——————————— ⚙️GEAR I USE ——————————— ➡️GEAR I USE - https://www.amazon.com/shop/nerdnest 💵Nerd Nest may receive a commission on sales of items linked above.
