TLDR: It's rendering single images from Doom on cell-based frame displays, not running the game itself.

This always bugs me about the "it runs Doom" posts. 90% of the time it's just a unique display hooked up to a regular computer where the computer is the thing running Doom or they made some simple raycast game with Doom assets (like all the calculator ones) or they just jammed a raspberry pi in something.

I'm sure this display will show Cyberpunk 2077 if they piped the display in properly. Doesn't mean e.coli are running a 4080.
