They probably *could*
But yields are probably not where AMD wants it right now. Maybe.

And the same goes to the 4-core ones, that have the same 65W TDP as the R7 1700 with its 8 cores. Hopefully they'll overclock very well and past 4GHz, but I wouldn't bet on it right now. |
They should be able to undervolt well though, with some luck. But Ryzen is not a good clocker. I've had Phenom 2's overclock higher than Ryzen.
I was personally expecting quads to be around the 35-45w TDP mark, with the Hex chips around 65w. They would have made amazing HTPC chips if they managed to hit those powerlevels.
