Yes, I realize that. But, it was used as an example of the concept as the "economics of scale" on these devices create cheaper and cheaper retail and wholesale pricing.. and a resulting 'direct' royalty decrease.. Hence over a period of several years.. You suddenly have to achieve a 300% increase in ASIC and UT sales to achieve the same royalty run rate..
