According to a Valve Engineer, the Steam Machine specs outclass the most common PC configurations. The company relied on its own hardware surveys to choose the system’s components. Even as an entry-level option, Valve claims that 4K/60 fps performance is realistic, despite a memory-limited GPU.
What? 32bit has nothing to do with how many threads it can use. Just how much memory it can address.
Actually you’re right, I think I got my wires crossed on that one, or just old misinformation from back then. 32 bit isn’t exclusively single thread, but more games were built as single or limited amounts of threads back then. Might need to brush up on that.
