We can get that with x86.

We just don't, because it's cheaper to clock the chips higher and burn more power, and to keep large graphics seperate from the CPU.

Intel's/AMD's attempts at addressing this (Broadwell/Skylake with eDRAM, Vega M, AMD's Van Gogh and Dragon Crest) were universally shot down by laptop OEMs. I don't know why, but they were probably just being cheap.

I had the NUC with Vega M, the so called Hades Canyon, and it was awesome. Pricy but awesome. It was my media and gaming PC in the living room. For a while it was also the VR machine too with Steam-based VR working great.
Van Gogh is in the Steam Deck.
Yeah, but a little late, and the successor was seemingly canceled.
