This seems like it would put the price far out of reach.

I don't know - you'd need at least 4 arm cores, and 4 x86. Current deck uses just 4 x86, so squeezing in more would require waiting for some fabrication improvement to keep power draw and cost sane

That just seems like at least double the cost.

Not necessarily. Steam Deck SoC is CPU+GPU out of which latter is probably the bigger part. Also, on the chip there are all the memory, USB, Pcie, audio and other controllers.

Adding 4 arm cores definetly wouldn't double the chip size
