Because my pc uses 4-5 times the power to run the same ps4-era game. (Especially nice when it’s hot in summer)

So I play it on my ps5, which offers me quick resume as well.

I love pc gaming, been building pc’s for over a decade at this point, but I do also see the advantages my ps5 has over my pc.

Could I build a more efficient and quiet pc, attach it to my tv and use that? Probably, and it’d be quite good with steamOS on it, but it’d be finicky to get sleep/resume working on it, and it’d probably cost me more.

ARM isn't more efficient than x86 at that scale. Below 15W or so, it is, but not scaled up. I think there are other good reasons for it--like having more than three companies that can produce them--but not that.
