I wouldn't be as more cores means nothing without a good memory subsystem because most games have a decent amount of synchronization overhead with contended memory accesses and that's probably why Intel still wins in most of the gaming benchmarks despite the fact that even as good as AMD is with RyZen, Intel scales noticeably better with higher core counts ... (practically no mobile CPU designers have went for more than 4 of it's big main cores and all will probably be just content with raising higher clock speeds)
Nvidia's CPU designs are fairly mediocre as well and the others like Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845 which features custom A75 cores still have laughably slow L2/L3 caches compared to whatever AMD/Intel have ...
I don't think A76 cores will be good enough in general to have competitive performance against Zen 2 cores and the same will likely be true for it's successor since by that time they'll eventually have performance just above that of an Apple A10 ?
