It's not always just about throwing tons of watts and avx-512 but sometimes how close the underlying ISA is similar to host CPU architecture.
PPC and AArch64 are a lot more similar to one another. They're both RISC-based. They both can do big or little endian.
x86 is just so completely different. Besides comparing to a desktop chip isn't the best idea. Those are built from the ground up to waste watts on purpose (ask any CPU architect). They're not even trying to save watts there. It'd be more apt to compare vs mobile chip, like Ryzen AI Max+ 395.
And what's wrong if it "only runs lighter games" lol? I think you under estimate how barren and desperate the landscape is for us mobile gamers. Not all of us care about GoW or even playstation exclusives.
There are plenty of lighter titles to be excited for: hot shots golf, virtua fighter 5, ridge racer 7, DBZ games, etc. It is not just 2D, but many 3d titles that are lightweight also.
