Why is gaming so dependent on IBM PC compatible hardware now? (lemmy.world)

Ultra-low-end business laptops from 2015 with a mobile Intel Core i3, 4 GB of RAM, and integrated graphics still have a dramatically better gaming experience than the Pixel 7 Pro. Why?

By the way, this is even with the help of emulators. Without emulators, gaming would outright be impossible for most people

I meant the hardware comparison of some near decade old garbage vs a modern phone

I'm playing a game on a 1.5 year old Ipad and playing a 12 year old game on my pc. The 12 year old game still looks better. When I started playing that game on pc, I was playing on a 15 year old pc... That pc game still looks better than any mobile game that I've ever seen.

So yeah I'd stand by the statement that pc games will look better then mobile games. There's always more power in the PC.
