Valve’s rumoured Steam Console leaks via benchmark database

After the success of the Steam Deck, fans began anticipating a potential return to living-room gaming for Valve. A decade on from the failed ‘Steam Machine' concept, leakers found evidence of a device codenamed ‘Fremont', a dedicated TV box for Steam gaming. 

Brad Lynch, a Valve-focused enthusiast with a history of reliable leaks, first mentioned the Fremont console in late 2024. Now nearly nine months later, the Valve Fremont has been benchmarked, with the results leaking via the Geekbench database.

According to the Geekbench listing, the Valve Fremont is powered by a custom AMD APU with six CPU cores and maximum clock speed of 4.79GHz, along with 8GB of DDR5 memory. This is a Hawk Point 2 chip, which we already know uses RDNA 3 graphics cores. It is speculated that the GPU used by the Valve Fremont will have specs similar to an RX 7600 GPU.

Valve has not made any official announcements for new hardware, but the company has been known to work on various projects for internal research purposes. Many of these products don't make it all the way through to an official announcement and release.

KitGuru Says: Do you think a Steam Deck TV would be a success, or would you prefer to see Valve focus on the main Steam Deck product and perhaps expand it with Switch-style seamless docking?
