it's just a question of power, heat and size which Intel haven't been very good at for a long time.

It was not “heat and size” per se. Intel manufactured Intel 80376 for many years, after all. But it refused to license cores and it refused to make a proprietary SOC designs on it's own fabs which made them useless in a time when everyone started switching to custom SOCs with CPU just one small part of the whole chip.
