I mean for comparison back on my old FX8320 and RX570 I was getting like at least 6x the FPS on HL2/Portal and I remember getting ~60 fps in Doom 2016 at 1440p with close to max settings. Calling this "GOOD" is pretty stupid honestly.

And you were doing that without doing ARM->x86 translation. That's significant overhead. The cores here cap out at 2600Mhz for the big ones, and this is a pretty weird asymmetric core layout with big.medium.LITTLE. It's also a 30W CPU vs 125W on the FX8320. Frankly, this is pretty impressive for what it is.

TBH, even with a translation layer, A720 cores are just so much faster than the FX8320 that it shouldn't be this bad.

The solution is obviously the release of native ARM games, which will happen sooner rather than later.

Kind of irrelevant to the point I was trying to make and sure there's overhead but I'm not so sure that's impressive comparing it to a ~13yr old CPU that was poor for gaming, I wouldn't be surprised if AMD's latest ~30w mobile CPUs are 3-5x faster for gaming than the 8320.

Import fees pushes the cost of it way too high especially if you factor in the cost of cooler/case and other accessories. I wonder how it stacks up against Orin Nano Super.
You can get a mini pc with Radeon 780m for not much more or an even cheaper one with Radeon 760m.
