Thermal load has been a major limiting design factor in high end CPU design for two decades (remember Pentium 4?).

Apart from that, I think you might me in a minority if you want a loud, hot iPad with a heavy battery to power all of this (for a short time, because physics). There are plenty of Windows devices that work exactly like that though if that's really what makes you happy. Just don't expect great performance either, because of diminishing returns of using higher power and also because the chips in these devices usually suck.
