This reveals time and time again the Steam Deck performance per watt peaks out around 10- 11 tdp and only get a small performance increase for the extra 4 watt. This explains why the 7840U and 6800u starts to pull ahead of the Deck apu at 15 tdp where the Deck's apu is not as efficient. The 7840u is a general purpose laptop apu designed to run 15-30 tdp which explains why it's performance drops off a lot from 15 tdp to 10 tdp.
While the ROG Ally is definitely a great device, it's built more for those who wanted the performance buff and native Windows OS over the Steam Deck's use of linux. That being said, Valve's built their device to last and take full advantage of the benefits Proton has brought to the Linux platform, creating a fantastic portable device perfect for playing anything from current gen titles to the classics to emulating that which the PC platform doesn't have official access. It's a beautiful emulation device perfect for digging back into your old PSP library, for example.

It can run on even the most potato of pcs. If a handheld cannot run this game then it's not a good handheld.
