In fact, the Steam Machine will come bundled with AMD's latest R9 270, where-as the Xbox One's GPU performance is closer to a 7790, according to Tom's Hardware. That's not to mention the R9 270 comes with boosted clock speeds, super fast 2GB of GDDR5 VRAM and enough shader processors to make most games weep. What's sad is that for the same price, the Steam Machine is already far faster than the Xbox One as far as graphics processing, memory access and performance goes.
AMD's R9 2xx line was designed to run games up to 4K resolutions, where-as the Xbox One can barely handle last-gen games at 720p.
Yeah okay, we all knew that it would be like that, but let's wait for an official announcement from valve before we all start jumping on the .

Even the games were optimized for Xbox One.

Tell me your experience.
Linux runs better than Xbox windows Clone?.... No way! (sarcasm)
Let's all take a short trip to my favorite place, called Reality, where Microsuck hasn't put out industry leading hardware in a decade.
Frankly, i'm betting you could dual-boot your home PC with the Steam Linux distro, and see a performance boost WITHOUT any hardware changes. No need to go buy a Steam box if you already game on PC.
For those of you on consoles... why buy what amounts to a gaming PC when your happy with console performance?
I don't see anything changing the status quo here. At most you might see more people opting for a Steam box instead of a $400-500 console that probably won't be worthwhile (game releases & bug fixes) for a year or two.
