>Are there any VR benchmarks for the Steam Deck yet?
No benchmarks, but the Pistol Whip devs tried it and agreed with Valve's statements about it not being for VR.

Then again, Valve mentioned something about the same hardware with higher TDP in that Verge interview here, so who knows what they're trying.

>I just don't see how they can put out a chip ten times as powerful
I don't think it necessarily needs to be.
>XR2 and Android
They won't go with anything that can't run x86 stuff, that's the whole appeal of the Steam Deck, and that's what they'd be going for with a standalone headset. The Deckard prototype info shows that it's running on some kind of Linux build.
>mathematically x86 with Linux just doesn't add up
Why not? It's got relatively low overhead if it's set up correctly, and [spoiler]you do know Android is Linux-based, right?[/spoiler]
