I have a bet going that their next Steam Deck is going to have an ARM processor.
Allegedly NVidia is working on a WoA SoC, now that Qualcomm's contract with MS has ended. If NVidia puts their recent capital gains into a performant ARM chip like Apple (tapeout alone would likely run in the billion-dollar range), we can hopefully expect AMD to respond with something soon after. Once the chipsets are available, it's a matter of getting Linux to work with mixed page-size processes.
I have no idea how possible that is, but if the emulation performance is anything like Rosetta and the M1 proved possible, most users won't even notice.
