    Dedicated high end phone processors should have better thermal management than Steam Deck’s cut down notebook processor.

      It’s a question of active vs passive cooling, not thermal management. Yes an arm processor is much better at thermal efficiency that x86 processors, but it can still throttle from passive cooling given enough time.
