AMD say the Steam Machine is "on track" for an early 2026 release - Sopuli

To be honest, I expected RAM prices would push back the release date. But AMD would know more about than I would.

Best case scenario is that they had already secured a RAM deal when the prices went mad, so they can now offer a good price. Even then, it might still be an issue for later batches though.

If they got the deal secured, you bet your table the ordering website is gonna get slammed.

A week after it ships ebay will be full of “steam machine bring your own ram”

Is it upgradeable? I assumed it would be soldered in.

Maybe we’ll see, “Some soldering required,” instead 😂

Why would it be soldered? It’s not like it’s in a laptop with space constraints.

Have you seen how it looks without the casing? this thing is filled to the brim, whatever space was left has been filled with cooling, it would be complicated to place a standard d6 in there - the whole system is built around the cooling that goes through the middle. but the ram isn’t soldered and i think it’s even placed so you can upgrade it without dismantling the whole thing.
