the future of hybrid chips is really going to get interesting if we keep moving into that direction and get enough competition.
I just want to add that I think it's reasonable to believe that you can save some amount of power when integrating parts. One chip instead of three different chips probably uses less power, and less power regulation is needed.

An interesting feature would be if the CPU throttled down to match the performance of the GPU. So if the GPU is capable of 60FPS and the CPU is capable of 130FPS, it could throttle down to save power without drop in framerate. Some of that power could be used to boost the GPU. A frame limiter at say 60FPS controlling the turbo and throttle would save even more.
