I'm no expert on any of these, but intuitively you're losing something cramming that functionality into a way smaller chip. Probably something to do with bandwidth (where big helps) vs latency (where small helps).

The GPU chip itself isn’t that big if you take the heat sink off. But it has power delivery and memory etc on the board

Even the GPU chip itself is still much larger than the CPU chip.
