Nintendo Switch waxa uu lahaa suuqa ciyaaraha gacanta oo dhan muddo sanado ah tan iyo markii Sony ay go'aansatay in aanay jirin cid ku guulaysata Vita . Hadda, Shirkadda Valve^{(Valve Corporation)} waxay ku dhawaaqday nidaamkooda gacanta, Steam Deck . 

Waxaa laga yaabaa inaad dareentay xoogaa buuq ah oo ku saabsan warbaahinta bulshada iyo wareegyada tignoolajiyada ee ku saabsan Steam Deck oo ah waxa loogu yeero " Switch Killer," laakiin waa Steam Deck mid la mid ah Nintendo Switch ? Sidee ayay u kala duwan yihiin?

Waa maxay sababta aan isbarbar dhig ugu sameynayno sagxada Steam^{(Steam Deck)} iyo Bedelka^(Switch) ?

Ma adka in la arko sababta labadan aaladood ay isku dood ugu wada jiraan. Waxaa jira aagag xooggan oo isku dhafka ah:

• Labada qalabba waxay leeyihiin qaab muuqaal ah oo isku mid ah.
• Sicirrada kala duwan ee loo yaqaan ' Switch ' iyo Steam Deck labaduba waa isku mid.
• Labaduba waxay ogolaadaan ciyaarta gacanta lagu ciyaaro ee dhaqan ahaan ku xidhan console ama PC.

Si kale haddii loo dhigo, Switch iyo Steam Deck waxay isku dhejiyaan shaqadooda. Waxaad ku ciyaari kartaa ciyaaro badan oo isku mid ah labada nidaam. Ka dib marka la sii daayo Switch Deck , qof kasta oo suuqa ugu jira qalabka ciyaaraha gacanta lagu qabto waa inuu go'aan ka gaaro labadan doorasho ee aasaasiga ah.

Taasi waa meesha ay isku ekaanshaha u dhexeeya Switch iyo Steam Deck ku dhammaanayaan sababtoo ah sida ugu dhakhsaha badan ee aan u eegno meel ka baxsan muuqaalkooda dusha sare, faahfaahinta hoosteeda ma noqon karto mid la mid ah.

Qalabka Steam Deck waa PC

Haa, si sax ah ayaad u akhriday. Iyadoo laga yaabo inay u ekaato konsole gacanta lagu qabto, waa PC gudaha ku jira. Waxay leedahay qalab aasaasi ah oo la mid ah kan PC-ga waxayna ku shaqeysaa isla software la mid ah PC kasta oo kale.

Ciyaaraha aad ku ciyaari doonto Dusha sare ee Steam^{(Steam Deck)} waa isla ciyaarihii aad ku ciyaari lahayd Steam adiga oo isticmaalaya laptop ama nidaamka desktop-ka ciyaarta. Sida kombuyuutar kasta oo kale, Steam Deck waa goob furan. Tani waxay ka dhigan tahay inaad xor u tahay inaad ku rakibto software kasta adigoon "jailbreak" qalabka. Tani waxay aad uga duwan tahay Switch -ka iyo nooc kasta oo kale oo ka mid ah consoles'ka, kuwaas oo guud ahaan xiran oo ay ku socodsiin karaan oo kaliya software uu shahaado ka helay soo saaraha.

Qalabka Steam Deck Hardware^{(Steam Deck Hardware)} wuu uga dhow^(Closer) yahay PlayStation ama Xbox ka badan^{(Xbox Than)} Switch

Gudaha Nintendo Switch waxaa ku yaal dhowr nooc oo ARM CPU ah oo la mid ah kuwa laga helo taleefannada casriga ah iyo tablet-yada. Gudaha dabaqa Steam Deck^{(Steam Deck)} , waxaad ka heli doontaa afar AMD Ryzen CPU cores iyo AMD RDNA 2 GPU . Haddii aad wax ka ogtahay Xbox-kii ugu dambeeyay iyo consoles-yada PlayStation , taasi waxay u ekaan kartaa mid la yaqaan. Haa, Steam Deck waxay isticmaashaa qalab la mid ah waxa ku jira jiilka cusub ee consoles'ka.

Si kastaba ha ahaatee, taasi waa isku ekaanshaha nooca, laakiin maaha tiro ahaan. CPU iyo GPU^(CPU) -da ku dhex jira Steam Deck waa la jaray marka la barbardhigo kuwa waaweyn, soo-saareyaasha awoodda u baahan ee ku jira nidaamka PlayStation 5 ama Xbox^(GPU) Series X. ^{(Xbox Series X)}Waxay si fudud wadaagaan DNA isku mid ah .

Haddii aad rabto inaad wax badan ka ogaato farqiga u dhexeeya CPU-yada^(CPUs) ku saleysan ARM iyo kuwa isticmaalaya tignoolajiyada x86 , fiiri ARM vs. Intel Processors: Keebaa ugu Wanaagsan?^{(ARM vs. Intel Processors: Which Is The Best?)}

Deck^{(Steam Deck)} - ka Steam aad ayuu uga xoog badan yahay^(Than) Bedelka

Nidaamka Nvidia-based-on-a-chip ( SoC ) ee gudaha gudaha Switch wuxuu ahaa, ilaa hadda, qalabka ugu awooda badan gudaha nidaamka ciyaaraha gacanta, ugu yaraan qiimihiisu. Si kastaba ha noqotee, shirkadda consoles-yada sida PlayStation 4 iyo Xbox One , meelna uma dhowa mid cajiib ah. 

In kasta oo aysan waligeed fududayn in la is barbar dhigo consoles-yada, Switch - ku wuxuu ku fadhiyaa meel u dhow consoles-yada sida PlayStation 3 iyo Xbox 360 ee muuqaalka waxqabadka marka loo eego PlayStation 4 ama Xbox One. Aad bay uga fiican tahay consoles-yada duugga ah, laakiin ciyaaraha ' Switch Games' waxay si wax ku ool ah u yihiin jiil-jiil ka sarreeya hababkaas hore laakiin qaab gacanta lagu haysto.

Iyada oo ku saleysan shuruudaha waraaqaha ee Steam Deck , waxay leedahay muruqa garaafyada si ay uga ganacsato dharbaaxo leh qaabka aasaasiga ah PlayStation 4 , laakiin CPU taas oo aad uga awood badan Sony jiilkii hore ee console-ka caadiga ah. 

Marka, hal dariiqo oo looga fikiro Deck waa sidii PS4 -ka sarreeya ee CPU oo aad gacmahaaga ku hayn karto. Iyadoo la tixgelinayo farqiga ballaadhan ee u dhexeeya Switch iyo PS4 , waa tallaabo cad oo kor loogu qaadayo nidaamka Nintendo.

Inta badan ciyaaraha ^(Games)Steam ^(Are)Deck^{(Steam Deck)} maaha kuwo u dhashay^(Native)

Qalabka Steam Deck wuxuu ku shaqeeyaa Linux . Gaar ahaan, waxay ku shaqeysaa nooc gaar ah oo Linux ah oo loo yaqaan SteamOS . Si kastaba ha ahaatee, inta badan ciyaaraha aad ka iibsan karto Steam waxaa loo sameeyay Microsoft Windows . Haddaba sidee ayay suurtogal ugu tahay Steam Deck inay ku ciyaaraan iyaga?

Jawaabtu waa in Valve uu hirgeliyay qayb software gaar ah oo loo yaqaan Proton . Proton wuxuu u turjumayaa "luqada" Windows tan Linux . Markaa ciyaarta Windows -ku waxay ku hadashaa luqadeeda, Linux -na way dib u hadli kartaa sababtoo ah Proton wuxuu u dhaqmayaa sidii turjumaan ahaan.

Tani way ka duwan tahay ku dayashada, halkaas oo dhammaan qalabyada nidaamka lagu sawiray si ay u socodsiiyaan ciyaaraha loogu talagalay console-kaas. Proton ma laha korka sare ee gaajaysan ee ku dayashada. Dhab ahaantii, ma jiraan wax kala duwanaansho waxqabad oo la dareemi karo ciyaaraha badan. 

Weli, tani waxay bixinaysaa sawir ka duwan kan ' Switch ' . Ciyaaraha beddelka^(Switch) waxaa si gaar ah loogu qoray inay ka shaqeeyaan beddelka^(Switch) . Horumariyayaashu^(Developers) waxay horumariyaan ama dejiyaan ciyaarahooda si ay u garaacaan ounce kasta oo waxqabad ah oo ka yimaada Switch . Ma jiraan wax tixgelin ah oo noocaas ah oo loogu talagalay Deck Steam^{(Steam Deck)} .

Dabaqa Steam wuxuu leeyahay^{(Steam Deck Has)} Qorshe Xakameyn Gaar ah^{(Unique Control Scheme)}

Waxaa laga yaabaa inaad dareento in Steam Deck uu leeyahay badhammo badan iyo meelo badan oo kontorool marka loo eego Beddelka^(Switch) ama kantaroolaha caadiga ah ee konsole kasta. Taasi waa sababta oo ah Steam Deck waxaa loogu talagalay inuu kuu ogolaado inaad ciyaarto ciyaaraha ku habboon gamepad, laakiin sidoo kale ciyaaraha loogu talagalay inay ku shaqeeyaan mouse iyo kiiboodhka^{(mouse and keyboard)} . Valve wuxuu isku dayayaa inuu dejiyo nidaam kasta oo suurtagal ah oo kombuyuutar ah oo ay ku jiraan taabashada taabashada xasaasiga ah, suulka la taabto, iyo suufka dambe ee dheeraadka ah.

Ciyaar kasta oo PC ah oo loogu talagalay in lagu shaqeeyo gamepad waa inaysan noqon arrin, laakiin sida hadda la joojiyay Xakamaynta Steam^{(Steam Controller)} , sida wanaagsan ee ciyaaraha mouse-driven ay u shaqeyn doonaan socodka waxay u badan tahay inay ku kala duwan yihiin hal cinwaan ilaa kan xiga.

Wanaag^(Better) ama ka sii daran^(Worse) , Khibradda Isticmaalaha Deck Steam^{(Steam Deck User Experience)} way ka duwanaan doontaa

Farqiga ugu weyn ee u dhexeeya Switch iyo Steam Deck waxay u badan tahay inay noqoto khibradda isticmaale. Switch waa console run ah. Waxa kaliya ee ay tahay inaad sameyso waa inaad soo dejiso ciyaar ama aad geliso kartoon ciyaarta, oo waxaad ku ciyaaraysaa ilbiriqsiyo gudahood. Wax kale oo aad samayn karto ma jirto.

Dusha sare ee Steam^{(Steam Deck)} , waxaad yeelan doontaa lugo badan. Ciyaar kasta oo aad ku rakibto, waa inaad habaynteeda ku hagaajisaa dookhaaga iyo awoodaha Steam Deck laftiisa. Waxaan fileynaa in Valve , bulshada Steam , ama labaduba ay ku siin doonaan tilmaamo ku saabsan sida aad u habeyn karto ciyaaraha gaarka ah ee ciyaarta ugu fiican, laakiin ma jirto wax dammaanad ah oo tan ah.

In kasta oo wixii aan ku aragnay is-dhexgalka software-ka caadiga ah ee Steam Deck uu u muuqdo mid rajo leh, xorriyadda asalka ah ee goobta kombuyuutarku waxay la timaaddaa tillaabooyin badan oo u dhexeeya iibsashada ciyaarta iyo ciyaarista ciyaarta marka loo eego consoles-yada.

Hadday taasi ka dhigan tahay inaad tixgeliso inaad ka ganacsatid Beddelkaaga Deck Steam^{(Steam Deck)} marka wakhtigu yimaado waxay inta badan ku xidhan tahay baahiyahaaga iyo waxyaabaha laga filayo ciyaaraha gacanta. Ma jiro doorasho sax ah ama khalad ah, ilaa iyo inta aanad u qaadan wax u eg oogada ay ka siman yihiin qiimaha wejiga.

What Is a Steam Deck and How Is It Different From Nintendo Switch?

Τhe Nintendo Switch has had the handheld gaming market all to itself for years since Sony decided that there would be no successor to the Vita. Now, Valve Corporation has announced their handheld system, the Steam Deck. 

You may have noticed some buzz on social media and in technology circles about the Steam Deck being a so-called “Switch killer,” but is the Steam Deck comparable to the Nintendo Switch? How are they different?

Why Are We Comparing the Steam Deck and Switch?

It’s not hard to see why these two devices are in the same discussion. There are strong areas of overlap:

• Both devices have a similar physical layout.
• Price ranges for both the Switch and Steam Deck are similar.
• They both allow for handheld play of games traditionally confined to a console or PC.

In other words, the Switch and Steam Deck overlap in their function. You can play many of the same games on both systems. After the Switch Deck releases, anyone in the market for a handheld gaming device will have to decide between these two primary choices.

That’s where the similarities between the Switch and the Steam Deck end because as soon as we look beyond their surface appearance, the details under the hood could not be more dissimilar.

The Steam Deck Is a PC

Yes, you read that right. While it may look like a handheld console, it’s a PC on the inside. It has the same fundamental hardware as a PC and runs the same software as any other PC.

The games you’ll play on a Steam Deck are the same games you’d play on Steam using a gaming laptop or desktop system. Just like any other PC, the Steam Deck is an open platform. This means you’re free to install any software on it without having to “jailbreak” the device. This makes it very different from the Switch and any other type of console, which are generally locked down and can only run software certified by the console maker.

Steam Deck Hardware Is Closer to PlayStation or Xbox Than Switch

Inside the Nintendo Switch are several ARM CPU cores similar to those found in smartphones and tablets. Inside the Steam Deck, you’ll find four AMD Ryzen CPU cores and an AMD RDNA 2 GPU. If you know something about the latest Xbox and PlayStation consoles, that might sound familiar. Yes, the Steam Deck uses hardware similar to what’s in the newest generation of consoles.

However, that’s a similarity of kind, but not of quantity. The CPU and GPU inside the Steam Deck are cut down in comparison to the large, power-hungry processors in a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X system. They simply share the same DNA.

If you want to know more about the difference between ARM-based CPUs and those using x86 technology, check out ARM vs. Intel Processors: Which Is The Best?

The Steam Deck Is Much More Powerful Than Switch

The Nvidia-based system-on-a-chip (SoC) inside the Switch was, until now, the most powerful hardware inside a handheld gaming system, at least for its price. However, in the company of consoles like the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, it’s nowhere near as impressive. 

While it’s never easy to compare consoles, the Switch sits closer to consoles like the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on the performance spectrum than the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. It’s significantly better than those older consoles, but Switch games are effectively a half-generation step above those older systems but in handheld form.

Based on the paper specifications for the Steam Deck, it has the graphical muscle to trade blows with a base model PlayStation 4, but a CPU that’s far more capable than Sony’s previous-generation mainstream console. 

So, one way to think of the Deck is as a CPU-supercharged PS4 you can hold in your hands. Considering the wide gap between the Switch and the PS4, it’s a clear step up from Nintendo’s system.

Most Steam Deck Games Are Not Native

The Steam Deck runs Linux. Specifically, it runs a custom version of Linux called SteamOS. However, most of the games that you can buy on Steam are made for Microsoft Windows. So how is it possible for the Steam Deck to play them?

The answer is that Valve has implemented a special piece of software called Proton. Proton translates the “language” of Windows to that of Linux. So a Windows game speaks its language, and Linux can talk back because Proton is acting as a translator.

This is different from emulation, where an entire system’s hardware is simulated to run games designed for that console. Proton doesn’t have the power-hungry overhead that emulation does. In fact, there are no perceptible performance differences in many games. 

Still, this does paint a different picture to that of Switch. Switch games are specially written to work on the Switch. Developers develop or port their games to tap every ounce of performance from the Switch. There are no such considerations for the Steam Deck.

The Steam Deck Has a Unique Control Scheme

You might notice that the Steam Deck has many more buttons and control surfaces than a Switch or any standard console controller. That’s because the Steam Deck is designed to let you play games that are gamepad compatible, but also games designed to work with a mouse and keyboard. Valve is attempting to accommodate every possible PC control scheme by including pressure-sensitive touchpads, touch-aware thumbsticks, and additional rear paddles.

Any PC game designed to work with a gamepad should be no issue, but just as with their now-discontinued Steam Controller, how well mouse-driven games will work on the go is likely to vary from one title to the next.

For Better or Worse, the Steam Deck User Experience Will Be Different

The most significant difference between the Switch and the Steam Deck is likely to be the user experience. The Switch is a true console. All you have to do is download a game or insert a game cartridge, and you’re playing in seconds. There’s nothing more for you to do.

On the Steam Deck, you’ll have more legwork. With each game you install, you’ll have to tweak its settings to your preference and the capabilities of the Steam Deck itself. We expect that Valve, the Steam community, or both will provide guidelines on how you should configure specific games for optimal play, but there is no guarantee of this.

While what we’ve seen of Steam Deck’s custom software interface looks promising, the inherent freedom of the PC platform comes with more steps between buying a game and playing a game compared to consoles.

Whether that means you should consider trading in your Switch for a Steam Deck when the time comes depends mainly on your needs and expectations for handheld gaming. There’s no right or wrong choice, as long as you don’t take their surface similarities at face value.
