       This is how your lie when you do marketing. Here ASUS made it look like the Steam Deck was barely more powerful than the Switch, by making 0.39 tflops almost equal to 1.6 by not respecting the scale. That's the oldest trick in the book, and that's very low.#asus #rogally #graph #lie

       Also, nevermind that the Z1 extreme can in no way reach 8.6 tflops, but that's just one more lie in the ocean

       @boilingsteam In France I remember it's illegal to compare your product with others. Isn't it the same at your place ?

       @Zekovski It's not illegal in most countries. France is almost an exception in that regard. Note that they never called the Steam Deck and the Switch by name, I just added them to make it clear since they referred to "the best handhelds available on the market in these years" which is fairly obvious what they are referring to

       @boilingsteam more power means more heat means more fans means bigger batteries (or lower battery life or both). The SD is designed to trade off everything to a fine balance. Adding more of something doesn’t make it better. Also Windows.

       @boilingsteam it is aimed at audience that embraces such nonsense.I will make a guess that "we are better than Steam Deck does not stick"

       @boilingsteam I'm almost willing to bet they took the theoretical maximum of both the CPU and GPU and just summed them up. Another marketing classic.

       @Natanox I think it's GPU only, and they took some extreme theoretical values that the GPU cannot reach in its current setup in the Ally
