It's not happening because it's hard to do. Extracting instruction level parallelism is difficult(which is how CPUs gain IPC) and then also the cores have to be wider with exponential complexity. ie. At the point you have to sacrifice 50% of CPU's power efficiency for 5% IPC gain, it's no longer worth it.
