May be it's due to x86 performance grew in much higher pace and therefore x86 chip complexity.
Maybe Intel should has re-thought its goals in mobile to reduce chip complexity, for instance, drop support 16bit, legacy FP, x64 (at least for time being) etc.
How many transistors current version of ARM has?
