Valve unveils prototype Steam Box specs

4.6
Valve Software has plans to ship 300 prototype Steam Box machines to eager testers by the end of 2013. This morning the company revealed the hardware to be included within these computers:
The 300 prototype units will ship with the following components:
GPU: some units with NVidia Titan, some GTX780, some GTX760, and some GTX660
CPU: some boxes with Intel : i7-4770, some i5-4570, and some i3
RAM: 16GB DDR3-1600 (CPU), 3GB DDR5 (GPU)
Storage: 1TB/8GB Hybrid SSHD
Power Supply: Internal 450w 80Plus Gold
Dimensions: approx. 12 x 12.4 x 2.9 in high
Instead of shipping top-of-the-line technology to each tester, Valve has opted to ship a variety of configurations. This allows the company a more accurate view of how Steam Box will perform in the hands of the public, as not every player will have access to the latest, greatest hardware. However, if you grow tired of how your Steam Box performs, Valve claims that each of these prototypes is fully upgradeable using relatively common components.

That's to be expected, but cool to finally see the specs of the Steam Box.


There are people who think otherwise, crazy people that is :D


I know, I had an argument with a kid about this, they're so delusional.


With the right hype, they could get extremely close to the xbox one/ps4. You underestimate just how big Valve are as a company, their steam user base alone is massive.


Mhmm. And the Steam userbase comprises of...? PC gamers.


Nobody says there small but you're only kidding yourself if you think it'll be close to the consoles. You should compare the numbers of PC and console gamers
