What is the difference between the Ryzen Z1 vs Ryzen Z1 Extreme?
- Z1 (non-Extreme) is like a Ryzen 5 (12 core) and has integrated Radeon 740M (4 CUs = 256 shaders)
- Z1 Extreme is like Ryzen 7 (16 core) and has integrated Radeon 780M (12 CUs = 768 shaders)
What are the gaming performance differences?
- the performance for general usage and 2D gaming is not noticeable
- heavy 3D games will be significant since the 780M is up to 3 times faster than the 740M depending on the game being played

How does this perform against the Steam Deck?
- This falls short (at least 5-25% slower) of matching the Steam Deck in terms of overall gaming performance.

So tempting!
The Odin 2 runs an ARM processor. The Steam Deck, Ally, and Legion are all running x86 processors.
There's zero overlap there beyond what gets ported to ARM processors.
The only way you're running Steam games on an Odin is with Moonlight, which means you need a gaming computer running alongside it.
That's not the same as being able to run them natively, nor is it practical if you plan on actually using it as a portable.

Maybe the OLED deck closes the gap as it improves in all three of those areas but I haven't used it

These will continue to plummet in price.
