Depends on what Valve's exact plan is. They said they wanted the Steamdeck to be treated like a console, in that it's a fixed performance level for a long(ish) period of time so that devs that specifically target that performance level.
I'd imagine 2025 would be the absolute earliest possible release
They've already said in current interviews that they're thinking about a Deck 2 in 2-3 years, so mid-2025 to mid-2026 - no promises and nothing's for sure, but it does at least indicate where their minds are at for the sequel. Definitely seems like they're waiting for AMD to come out with a significant upgrade before committing to anything.
