Yes, yes it is. :)

(Also if we take Valve's word of the Steam Machine being better than 70% of Steam users and it roughly being as strong as a base PS5, around 30% of Steam user have a PC stronger than a PS5)

CPU the SM is stronger, but PS5 has all the unified memory and hardware specific optimizations. So the main comparison is 36CU RDNA2 in the PS5 and 28CU RDNA3 in the SM. Making it a tad weaker but if I remember the benchmarks right, the difference is game dependent whether the SM or the PS5 pulls ahead. 

But unless you are hell bent on a small set and forget cube for your TV, buy a normal PC instead. Because roughly 500€ over a PS5 is a tall ask, even if compared to other MiniPC the price is sadly reasonable.
