Are we getting at all close to that? I guess the Samsung Chromebook Plus (Rockchip RK3399-based [branded OP1 though]) also is somewhat close to that target - even with a nice high-res display and everything except the 32kb BootRom being replaceable. Of course Qualcomm-based devices have the Adreno/Freedreno bonus, but even in that area we're seeing some progress for Mali (Midgard) this year [0].
