The problem is that it's not 1-1 with X86, especially in regards to graphics capability (The GPU is really the weak link on the current PinePhone). The GPU for example uses Tile-based rendering, which requires software optimizations to work best... Plus the GPU is just plain slow. It's a first generation ARM Mali graphics core intended for OpenGL ES 2.0 afterall.

I’m sorry. I’m not quite sure what everything you said meant, but my P3 didn’t have any GPU at all, so it seems like it shouldn’t matter.

I find it hard to believe a ARM CPU would need significantly more cycles to perform the same operations.
