After the mysterious “Valve 1030” appeared in the Korean regulatory agency a few days ago, it appeared again in the FCC on August 13 and was clearly marked as Steam Deck.
The device is only now being reported in the media because Valve commissioned Quectel to register it, and Valve detectives Brad Lynch and @TVKilledMi first discovered it.
According to the published document information, Quectel submitted a Class II license change to use the certified Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth chip FC66E on the new Steam Deck. This wireless chip has already passed the certification and does not require additional certification for the new Steam Deck. .
The Steam Deck mentioned in the current document only has improved support for Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth, and other changes are unknown.
It was previously reported that Steam Deck engineer Pierre-Loup Griffais told The Verge that he hopes to see a leap in performance without having a major impact on battery life. Steam Deck 2 may not reach this standard until the end of 2025 or longer. . “I don’t expect such a leap in the next few years,” the engineer noted via email.
