Valve listed the internal specifications for the prototype versions of their Steam Machines a few days ago, and all them featured Nvidia graphics cards (can see the specs here). Since then the company has moved to clarify that Steam Machines will not be exclusively powered by Nvidia GPUs, and that AMD and Intel hardware would also be supported in the future.

"Last week, we posted some technical specs of our first wave of Steam Machine prototypes," Valve spokesman Doug Lombardi told MaximumPC. "Although the graphics hardware that we've selected for the first wave of prototypes is a variety of Nvidia cards, that is not an indication that Steam Machines are Nvidia-only. In 2014, there will be Steam Machines commercially available with graphics hardware made by AMD, Nvidia, and Intel. Valve has worked closely together with all three of these companies on optimizing their hardware for SteamOS, and will continue to do so into the foreseeable future."

Prototype versions of the new living room PCs will be shipped out to 300 testers before the year's out. If you want to throw your hat in the ring and get your hands on one, you can find out more here.
