Basemark's Sacred Path cross-platform GPU benchmark attempts to show how completely different platforms stack up against each other in the graphics department.

I mean Apple hardware blows a Geforce 4090 out of the water, why would a lowly Steam Deck stand a chance?

Steam should have gone with ARM.

I realise that would cause compatibility issues and it would require getting developers on board to make x86-ARM translations....and it would require a JIT x86-ARM translation layer like Apple's Rosetta for games that aren't ported to ARM....

...BUT...it would have made the Steam Deck so much more energy efficient.

The reason I am not getting a Steam Deck is just the bulk, the power consumption, even the noise from my friend's Steam Deck next to me started to actually bother me after a while.

I have a hard time believing the iPhone 14 gpu is better all around though. Is it just in specific benchmarks? And how do you compare scores from 2 different systems?

LOL!!

Take it with a grain of salt. Benchmarks can be made to favor one CPU/GPU. Just like games, some run faster on different hardware. So the only thing you can do is look at multiple benchmarks and since there are none then this is pointless to even consider these results.

Exactly my thought

Isn't obvious ?
ARM will win the race.
i bet Nvidia and AMD already developed ARM based GPU for the next decade
