Why can’t we just put a 3 ghz intel CPU in a mobile device? What’s preventing us?

Really this can apply to any CPU. Why can’t we just put one of those in a mobile device? It’s small enough. Is it heat and cooling issues? Or something else entirely? If we can put one of those in a mobile device it would be an absolute game changer

Main issues are power and cooling.

A mobile device is super compact, so there’s no internal airflow or ability to add fans.

Even if you could somehow dissipate the heat, people expect their phone’s power consumption to allow going a certain amount of time without a charge. With a high-speed power-hungry CPU, you’d need a big battery, which wouldn’t fit.
