Are the chips really fundamentally better than their AMD and Intel counterparts made on the same node?

Sure it's a great design, but I believe x86-64 will catch up once again now with everyone using TSMC.

Arm has had a performance-to-power edge over x86 since inception.

AIUI, if you want the most flops per die, you'll buy x86 - probably the 128-core Xeon for enterprise money. But that's not what's best for hand-held gaming.

AAA titles are typically GPU-bound anyway. More CPU flops may not offer much benefit.
