These leaked Valve Fremont benchmarks are CRAZY (and sus)

Valve's "Fremont" console has just leaked on Geekbench, and the specs are absolutely wild! We're diving deep into the leaked benchmarks, comparing the new device to the Steam Deck OLED, and breaking down all the suspicious details.

Is Valve preparing to take on the PS5 and Xbox Series X in the living room? With a 6-core Zen 4 CPU and a rumored dedicated RX 7600 GPU, the "Fremont" console could be a huge game-changer for PC gaming. But what's up with only 8GB of RAM? And why is it running Windows 11?
