As I have said repeatedly: If a chip with 4X as many transistors sells for 2X the price, then the cost per transistor (and therefore the price of computing power) has gone down (Moore's law), but the average selling price has gone up. Historical data (posted last year, unfortunately not accessible to me at the moment) shows that chip ASPs tend to go upward, and that when they dip downward, the industry stops building fabs.
