Intel has responded to this realisation by .. giving up on mobile, for the time being.

(The integrated graphics are getting quite acceptable and we're starting to see PC-on-a-stick and cheap Intel tablets as a result, but I'm not sure how big a market that is)

Actually, the Iris branded GPUs are quite impressive, considering that they are essentially a co-processor inside the chip and they pull over 800 GFLOPs of compute power.
