There’s a possibility we could get new or more complex crystal structures by processing materials in space, getting more resilient or better properties to then be used in actual chips after it gets back to earth. Space factories will be more for material handling and processing than actual fabrication (minus deep space ship construction).

This explains why the huge delay from their promise to release steamOS installer for generic PC systems. It’s probably taken a lot of behind the scenes work to make it device agnostic as well as supporting specific hardware from 3rd parties. This is a huge win though, most deck competitors running windows are hamstringing themselves so having more options in the market will accelerate the support and adoption of more open standards.
