I'm no computer scientist doctor, but I don't think it's about how powerful the processor may be but rather how old it is. Older tech will process things differently. There could be a technical bottleneck somewhere that older processors are struggling with regardless of how many GHz they have. So far what I've seen from people who have reported their hardware, the issue seems to be on processors that are 12th gen Intel or older. Steam Deck also uses an AMD processor, and I don't think I've seen anyone report the issue with AMD yet. This is just my opinion.
Yeah I do suspect that it's an issue with intel processors as based on what I've seen of other people's dxdiag files it seems like a lot have intel processors. Hopefully Bioware can find some way to fix this.
