I was trying to find actual benchmarks of those chips. I thought even something like the 5700u would make an affordable SteamOS console. The best I could find were 3dmark time spy scores which showed the Steam Deck's gpu performing better than even the 7000 series apu's. That doesn't sound right but I couldn't find better information.The Minisforum NUC-a-likes with Ryzen 7000-series APUs are probably your best bet. They have a 7940HS model with a 12CU RDNA3 graphics offering compared to the Steam Deck's 8CU RDNA2 offering.
It's not cheap though, will be on par with the 512GB $699 steam deck once you add RAM and storage.
You might be better off just buying a small mITX box with a dGPU. A Ssupd Meshlicious isn't a bad option if you have a tiny bit more space, and you can slot a compact GPU in there with 3-4x the performance. The 4060 is very power-efficient if you're after something unobtrusive and quiet, even if it's not the best value.
