If you read the article you would know this is all being done via cloud gaming. So the phone isn't doing the processing/rendering. Its just being given a stream that you can interact with. Latency and honestly I imagine graphical quality will suffer due to compression but maybe AV1 encoding will give it a bit of a lead. I'm not saying this isn't awesome but its no secret cloud gaming may not have great longevity and I doubt Apple is going to let you keep your copy of _________ if they ever shut down the service.~~This is apparently incorrect, these are running natively which is surprising. So I will retract my former statement but keep it for posterity .
I believe its just poor wording in the article. Other articles are saying that they will run natively.

I'll be damned, I seem to be wrong. I don't know how they are going to run these games natively but I'll be damned they are running natively (probably).
It will probably be extremely cutdown versions of those games. Yes, its a powerful chip, but it isn't magic. You don't need the highest quality textures or resolution when running on mobile screen sizes.
