**BREAKING: VALVE'S "DECK 2" PROTOTYPE LEAKED—AND IT WON'T USE x86.**
Sources deep within the supply chain confirm that Valve is finalizing an internal prototype codenamed *"Project Holystone."* Unlike the original Steam Deck’s AMD architecture, this unit allegedly runs on a custom ARM-based processor co-developed with a major mobile chipmaker.
The source claims the priority shift is due to a "radical power efficiency mandate." The goal? *Ten hours of native AAA gaming on a single charge.* The prototype reportedly includes a neural processing unit dedicated to translating existing x86 titles in real-time, eliminating emulation lag entirely.
But the most explosive detail: **The device has no fan.**
DVT units are supposedly scheduled for internal QA in Q3. If this is real, Valve just told Intel and AMD they aren't needed for the next generation of portable PC gaming.
