But the motherboard chip is also AMD!!!!!!! /s

Snapdragon 680 noticeably chugs sometimes even with UFS.
Ofc emmc is a much bigger bottleneck tho.

It is kinda more efficient tho.
Power consumption per clock doesn't scale linearly.
Splitting a task into two parts and running it on two cores at 2 GHz will consume less power and generate less heat than running it on a single core at 4 GHz.
Its significantly harder to do that programming wise, but performance wise it has its benefits.
It also frees up the main high performance core to focus on more important tasks.

I'd be surprised if it really pushed a lot of cores too

They really should, it shouldn't be hard to do considering practically every Android phone released has been 8 core

Many games like PUBG-M are still CPU limited, so maybe that, but yea its probably not an all core load

With how stable my new WiFi 6 router is for me, personally I don't feel the need for ethernet anymore even for gaming.
So I have no issue if I buy a laptop that can be thinner without RJ45
Will I appreciate it if they still manage to fit it? Sure, a little bit? But it's definitely not a make or break decision for me.
Same case with headphone jacks, I love the benefits of wireless enough to ignore the benefits wired bring, so my purchase decision isn't considering a headphone jack, sure if a phone I have has it, it'll be a nice little thing, but I'll probably not be using it.

It's almost like the video title is nowhere near enough to describe such complex advancements

I couldn't probably seeing them launching an add on to the iPhone with joysticks and when you wanna game on tv or ipad or mac, the iPhone witht the attachment as a whole will act as a controller

buy a game once and it works (and crosssaves) on my iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and MacBook

That seems to be the thing they are targeting and is totally possible considering its running on an iPhone.

Bonus points for a controller that easily moves between devices like AirPods

If they ever end up making a controller, it'll definitely do that

If Apple can pull it off in the long run and have AAA games launched for their ARM lineup, it'll be one of the greatest improvement to the gaming scene as a whole and technologically fairly impressive

You were expecting a newish AAA x86 PC game to run "more than bare minimum" on a 6.5W ARM SoC with basically 0 cooling?

True, I also see people comparing efficiency at peak performance numbers a lot more than they do at lower clocks, which is misleading for this kind of machines.
What makes Macs soooo much better for battery is their low consumption at low load
