You can take such PC's out of their case and transplant it into a new one.
There isn't a good APU on the market because APU's tend to be large chips, they are expensive to manufacture and people expect APU's to be cheap. Jaguar-levels of CPU performance for instance is unacceptable on PC.
The i7's aren't needed to crush the Xbox One, the console APU's don't have CPU's anywhere near that level. An dual-core, core i3 perhaps.
It won't happen, because bandwidth. Unless AMD's upcoming HEDT platform supports integrated graphics, which I I doubt. Then Quad-Channel DDR4 memory opens up a ton of possibilities.
They really aren't though.

I did a little research, there are PC Jaguar CPUs running similar GHz as consoles. So they're fine for PCs as well. Eitherway, if you bought a device with a gaming focused APU, than GPU power is more important than CPU power.
I think there is an audience looking for a simple box that's reasonably priced and essentially runs current PC games at decent settings, like at par with modern consoles. I mean look at all the options for pre built gaming PCs, there is a market. I thought Steam machines was gonna be the answer for that but it wasn't, still expensive.
