"Doesn't exist" is more accurate than that is.
It's mobile. You can't just shove power at it to get the results you want. The alternatives have marginally higher power (mostly at higher power draw), but the performance difference is nowhere near enough to justify calling it a 2. There are not x86 chips capable of doing meaningfully better within the power envelope the Deck has to have to function.
Yeah, the more powerful handhelds do it by dumping 75% more power into the APU for like a 30% power increase.
It works for handling some more demanding games, but when you're draining the battery that quickly it doesn't feel like a portable game system anymore.
