Well in the world of gaming PCs your base RAM isn’t nearly important as the RAM on your GPU. I doubt there’s enough room in a phone for all that. So sure the phone’s RAM might be more than the PC’s, but is it more than the PC’s + the GPU’s? Probably not, since the CW there is 8GB VRAM is too little.
True that. I don’t have a “gaming PC” per se in that I don’t have advanced graphics processing. But everything else about my laptop is “gamer” in speed, particularly for when I bought it 3 years ago (2.8GHz quad CPU, 32GB RAM at 3300 mHz clock speed, 1 TB SSD). It’s great for running a small MS SQL Server DB instance for my C# apps for downloading ETF and mutual fund prices for a little swing trading (more a hobby than actual wealth building, I make only slightly higher return than buy and hold in mutual funds) and analyzing telemetry from downloads from my solar inverters.
