I mean, I'd hope so considering it's got like 1 big core and 3 compact dense cores disabled..

The Z2 Extreme is essentially the HX 370 with better power management between the GPU and CPU since it has 8 cores instead of 16. In all the benchmarks I have seen the 890m gets power starved under load on CPU intensive games which drops frame times significantly as it struggles for power even with the awesome efficiency improvements the HX 370 is a monster of a chip for a handheld that needs lots of cooling.

The HX 370 has 12 cores, not 16, and the Z2 is effectively a budget friendly version of.. though you have a point, it will be better for gaming and battery balance.

I have the Win Max 2025, incredible device that I use it as both a desktop PC connected  a 9070 XT via Oculink, and then switch over to Bazzite for gaming.. I'll never go back.. to a full desktop PC!

The A1X makes for an amazing device though. If you can justify the price to own the most powerful handheld on the market right now it also ticks a lot of boxes off on the "must have" check list.
