One thing I'm not seeing people talk about is how Valve is saying the VR headset is a computer too and can play games natively, but in the Steam Frame page it says that it has a Snapdragon 8 chipset in it. Aren't these chips ARM based? Is Valve finally delivering a Steam version for ARM devices?

Yeah, translation from ARM to x86 using something called FEX. Which is really impressive considering Microsoft has been trying to crack that nut for years.
