Because they don't make it and see no possibility to win the battle too, otherwise they would already have make it. It's a big Market. So the question should not be why no low-ball cores or how much area, but rather why they no do.
One of the reasons could be that x86 instruction set is to big compared to the arm instruction set and one do not need such big instruction set in mobile devices anyway.
Another would be that a big instruction set needs more real estate on silicon just for the logic. But why even invest in that? Smaller instruction set but more parallel calculations is even faster for the target group.
So...

- theGeatZhopa 3y agoWhy don't you try to understand what an instruction set means? "Why does x86 consume more power than ARM? X86 processors use more registers and place a greater emphasis on performance and high throughputs. As a result, there is some excess heat production and electricity consumption. ARM devices are substantially more energy-efficient by design." x86 is a CISC, ARM is a RISC. So, what is the least energy hungry x86 compatible chip of all times?
