The GPU and IO speeds are far and away the most important factors for what people have used consoles for, for 20 years. ARM64 is perfectly capable as a CPU (just ask my MacBook Pro). Pair it with a very capable GPU and you'd likely have a winner.
Nearly every ARM system (including the Macs) today have cellphone-tier GPUs paired with them. I'd love to see what a system paired with something akin to GeForce 4080 (reasonable for a 2027 system) could do, power-efficiency and 4k-target wise.
