15.3% slower in Baldur's gate 3, 14.7% slower in The Outer Worlds 2, 10% slower in Resident Evil 4.

Also worth noting that Valve have left open the option to include two sticks of RAM for future Steam Machine production so those buying one now are possibly getting an inferior machine.

Issue with percentages is most people wont notice a difference between 300fps and 255fps but they would between 30fps and 25.5fps.
 
As you'll mostly be limited by the rubbish GPU it does not matter as on a big screen you will run higher quality so it does not look rubbish which limits performance, anyone buying this is not going to know any better and those that know better don't buy this!
 
It also seems like getting a match for the already included 16GB DDR5 is very difficult. So people thinking they will just buy another stick of RAM will be out of luck.
 
Amazing, as if getting an overpriced underpowered novelty wasn't enough to satisfy some peoples overwhelming desire to tip their money down the drain, now we're talking about wanting to swap RAM sticks in and out just to make sure the performance isn't even worse than originally expected before they're even shipping.

I bet many people will quickly find that the storage on their 512GB Steam Machine is insufficient so will end up spending even more on it.
