If you can find videos with closer APUs to Steam Deck's running Switch games, please post them in the comments below.Have you ever had a friend who flexed over you just because he owned a Nintendo? I did! Did you know what I did? I scorched the internet to find the best Nintendo Switch Emulator so I can enjoy the best Switch titles. To be certain the steam deck won't be too weak for these games, we have to pick something similar or weaker.
I could perhaps have chosen the 3400G, which IS zen 2, but it's also clocked quite a bit higher.
But it's either going to be slower or very close to Steam Deck's performance in these emulators. But that's not going to mean 10% better FPS, given that the per-core performance is lower due to only being Zen 1, not Zen 2. The 2400G is not a perfect comparison: it's boost clock rate is 10% higher. The best I could find is the Ryzen 5 2400G: 4c/8t Zen 1 (NOT zen 2, so less IPC than steam Deck's APU) 3.6Ghz to 3.9Ghz. Now there's no perfect equivalent: The existing PCs with the most similar hardware to the the Steam Deck are probably laptops with the Ryzen U APU: a 4c/8t Zen 2 CPU clocked at 2.5Ghz to 3.7Ghz), but that's not a very common APU, so I could not find any gameplay videos of these emulators for that APU. The CPU part of the Steam Deck's APU is just a 4 core / 8 thread Zen 2 CPU clocked at 2.4Ghz to 3.5Ghz.
The why is a bit technical, but you can read about it on the various Cemu and Yuzu websites/subreddits.Īn APU is (basically) a CPU with a GPU built-in. Especially the single-core performance of the first couple of cores. You guys probably know most of this, but here's a full explanation of why we can be so certain this is proof of playable performance on Steam Deck:įor Switch and Wii U emulation, CPU performance is what determines performance, since the CPU is the bottleneck, not the GPU.
