[GAMERS NEXUS] Valve Steam Machine Single Vs. Dual-Channel Memory Benchmark
Posted: 01 Jul 2026, 01:38
In our Steam Machine review, Valve stated that it was shipping the Steam Machines in a (seemingly random) arrangement of either 2x 8GB or 1x 16GB sticks for the initial wave.
In the time since, Valve has issued a correction of its prior statement to confirm it will only be shipping 1x 16GB initially.
That simplifies things in some ways, but does mean that the Machine ships in the worst-performing of the two configurations by default
