You can quickly set/remove a TDP limit on a Steam Deck whenever you want, though. Right?

You can, thanks to SteamOS. That’s why I am looking forward to this device. It’s got a much higher performance ceiling than the deck, so I can throttle it down and have the option of performance or battery life. The deck wasn’t a powerhouse to begin with, so unless I’m playing a 2D clicker I never throttle the TDP.

Yes, but can you add CPU and GPU cores on demand tho? If you have them you can set tdp limit on portable mode and remove limit in docked mode, but how about steam deck, how do i add GPU and CPU cores?
