The only reason for Intel's R&D spend over that time is that mobile chips are even more terrifying, especially once you factor in the compute capacity on the GPU.
The memory bottleneck is the real problem, but once you start getting systems conceptually related to nVidia's Tegra K1 (or even the PS4 system architecture) where the CPU is relegated to a sort of system co-ordinator Intel are going to have a major headache and find themselves in that single threaded performance niche that kept the SPARC and POWERs of the world occupied prior to their decline.
