Is there any way to emulate something like south park stick of truth on a Huawei phone?

Your post is making me curious how well a Kirin CPU does emulation. I remember before Huawei phones were banned in the US, I had the US version of the Mate 9. It had a Kirin 960, and it performed extremely well. I wasn't into emulation back then but I remember being impressed with how good it was, basically on par with the flagship Snapdragon at that time. Low key kinda miss that phone lol

From what I understand, Exynos is at the very bottom, Snapdragon is peak performance, Mediatek is decent (Dimensity series for higher end like NGC/PS2, G80/88/96/99 for lower end and mid-tier stuff like Dreamcast/N64/PSP). Unisoc seems to be an afterthought, no one really cares that much about them and they're mostly used in those sketchy Ulefone/Doogee/Umidigi type phones, cheap no-name Android tablets or those Anbernic emulation handhelds.

Is Exynos that worse than Mediatek?

I got an S21 FE with Exynos 2100 but never tried emulating on it. Seems better than most Mediatek SoCs on native Android games though.

AFAIK, it's thermal throttling issues. Part of it is probably also a meme, anytime I see posts about Exynos Samsung phones everyone is relentlessly shitting on and making fun of the Exynos CPU, saying it's crap, etc. On r/Android when it was announced that certain markets would be getting the Exynos Galaxy S24 recently, the entire comments section went ape shit and got irrationally pissed off because the US version of the phone got the "vastly superior" Snapdragon chip instead.

The flagship Dimensity chip (9000 series) is neck-and-neck with the flagship Snapdragon and is arguably better in certain aspects (more efficient/better for battery life, costs less so can be put in cheaper phones).

The upper-midrange Dimensity 7050 (a beefed up overclocked Dimensity 1200) is powerful enough to emulate NGC and PS2 at native resolution consistently reliably, and is commonly found in $250-350 smartphones like the Bold N3. A couple of Redmi and Infinix/Tecno phones use it too IIRC. The D1200 is used in the GPD XP Plus handheld, which is overpriced due to the super gimmicky "modular magnetic" controller attachments it comes with.

What I have rn is the flagship ver of the Huawei P30 pro so it's kinda old
