For a AAA modern game, you're right - of course not.
But remember, they're saying this thing is six times as powerful as the Steam Deck.
That sounds like it might be able to handle 4 players running at about as good as on the Steam Deck.
And that's ignoring the whole idea of the server running on the Steam Machine, and custom clients running on everyone's Steam Frames. That would give you even more compute power.
I like the idea that the Steam Frame, in this "Living Room" scenario, doesn't even need to do network prediction. It just blasts game state to each of the clients.
So what, there's multi-player games on the same TV, like Goldeneye 64.
There's LAN games.
And now there's maybe a new category... Living Room, Multi-Screen games?
