I was just curious if i use my type c port or usb port to charge my phone while gaming, it will use 15W(5v * 3A). So, will that reduce the performance of CPU or GPU because instead of power being used by them, its being used to charge

Since FinFET'll be dead soon, & (GAAFET) is coming, so: What does it offer for future generations of electronics: CPUs, GPUs, storage, RAM, SoCs, etc... in terms of TDP, heat, efficiency & performance, etc...? How did GAAFET solve FinFET issues and its potential problems accompanying it as...
