Is the production of processors like Pentium 4 and Athlon 64 is cheaper than what was the production of processors like Pentium 2 and K6?
In 1997 the waffer were 0.25mm and today it's 0.90mm and even though they added more transistors I think it might be cheaper for them than it used to be in 1997.
I'm asking this because I wonder if Intel and AMD keep the prices today as they were in 1997 because people find the prices reasonable even though Intel and AMD could lower the prices of processors today.
A company wouldn't lower prices when the production gets cheaper if sales are good and get better each year.
