Is the Exynos 1480 good for gaming

The Exynos 1480 chip is built on a modern 4nm process, making it highly power-efficient for longer gaming sessions without draining the battery too fast.

It features the Xclipse 530 GPU based on AMD's RDNA 2 architecture, bringing advanced graphics typically found in PCs to a mid-range smartphone
