The steam deck's chip runs at 15w maximum and has I believe a 4, 6, and 8w mode. Maybe not 5w but pretty close. The linux desktop on it is a perfectly unimpressive but usable daily driver kind of thing. The problem is consumers dont want this. The failure of the netbook era proved it. People dont want to deal with slow speeds so this kind of thing wont be a mainstream mass produced item.

ARM faking x86 is probably the way to go for this case.
