I doubt anyone was thinking about running Steam on cars back when this design choice was made. The Tesla UI with the Atom processor was vastly superior to everything else on the market.Not all M3's... my 2019 has the Intel Atom... what on Earth made them use such a horrible CPU?
For Tesla, range is king. The Ryzen processor added to the 3/Y in late 2021 decreased range by 13 miles. It probably makes running sentry mode take more energy as well. The less power hungry Atom processor was a good choice. It may actually still be better than the Ryzen for most people.
Tesla's upgraded infotainment system powered by AMD Ryzen CPUs negatively impacts the range of the Model 3 and others
More performance sometimes results in a higher power consumption, which is why Tesla had to inform certain customers that the projected range of their ordered Model 3 is lower due to the recently introduced AMD Ryzen CPUs which now power Tesla's infotainment systems.
