It's using snapdragon 8 gen 3 which is more powerful than the xr gen 2 by 25%

What if I told you there's more to a VR headset than the hardware?

Comparable in a sense, each component that they actually share. But still all individually upgrades. But for all the components the Steam Frame has that a Quest 3 doesn't even have... literally no comparison. Not to mention functional firmware/operating system. And the community features, and the cool stuff we'll be able to get for the expansion port. And the controllers are much more useful. Not just for VR games, but as actual controllers too.

And they have actual spatial anchoring, you put something at a representative physical point in space, it'll stay exactly there. So you hang a screen on a wall in your house, or in your bathroom, or above your stove... it's there every time, doesn't need to constantly be adjusted, or re-opened. That part of it was such an important feature of the headset that they literally named the headset after it, the Frame system. Quest 3 is so annoying trying to use it that way, not only does stuff subtly shift throughout the day, but you put the headset on tomorrow and it's either in a new random place, or it's gone and you have to put it up again...
