Fans around the world are eagerly waiting for Valve’s upcoming Steam Machine. While Valve has not officially revealed the device’s release date or price yet, recent reports suggest that it could arrive sometime this month. As excitement continues to build, the Steam Machine has once again appeared on Geekbench, suggesting reviews may be underway.
Codename and Operating System Details
For those unfamiliar, the Steam Machine is currently believed to be operating under the codename “Valve Fremont.” The device first showed up on Geekbench around 10 months ago. At the time, the benchmark listing revealed that the system was running Windows 11 Pro.
New Geekbench Listings Show a Major Shift
Now, Valve Fremont has appeared on Geekbench once again through two separate benchmark entries. This time, however, there is one major difference. Both new listings show SteamOS as the operating system instead of Windows 11 Pro.
Same Hardware, Similar Performance
Apart from the operating system change, the hardware specifications appear to remain the same as before. The listings continue to mention a custom AMD processor identified as the AMD CPU 1772. As for performance, the two benchmark results produced very similar scores. In the single-core tests, the system scored 2,334 points and 2,282 points. Meanwhile, the multi-core tests resulted in scores of 7,316 points and 7,392 points.
Potential Launch Date Rumour
That said, Steam Hardware Updates on X recently claimed that Valve is expected to reveal the Steam Machine’s price and release date on June 23. The same source also claims that reservations could open one week later, on June 30.
