Do mobile users in general care about their phone being as strong as consoles? Considering gaming aplications for it, mobile games are usually smaller and don't require nearly as much power as even most handheld games. And if you need to use apps that need that much power, you're going to leave your batteries dry in a couple of hours.

The Surface phone, if it ever exists, will probably be running on ARM. 

Not sure why so many of you are dismissive of mobile chips. ARM's statements are seeking headlines, no doubt, but the advances those chips make are important, ARM processors will continue to play a bigger role each year. 

Mobile devices absolutely need and will benefit from more power. 

What is the future of smartphones? For a lot of people, the best computer is the one they have in their hands already, the number of people who compute exclusively on their smartphones will continue to become bigger in the future. Performance, developers support, the cloud, camera improvements, foldable screens, battery life & true wireless charging are essential to that future. 

What stops Google from making a dock for their PIXEL phones that actively cool the device and connects it to a display allowing us to do more?

Perfomance improvements and continued developers support will open up new doors, the original iPhone isn't 10 years old yet and the world has changed a lot since then. Patience! I am confident smartphones aren't not done shaping our lives yet. 

Can you name a game that is already on Android that will bring a fully-fledged Adreno/BiFrost based chip to it's knees?

Phones reached "Good enough" levels of performance a few years ago for the majority of people in the mid-range market, even the low-end is getting to that level these days thanks to the likes of Oppo, Xiaomi and others.

I doubt that doubling current performance of all SoC's will enable much of anything new, the market is maturing.
