I recall a couple of years back Intel claiming price per transistor was still declining because the pricing curves showing most recent nodes at high prices were simply showing the premium of being new. When the node was in full production and no longer leading edge, the price would go down to take its rightful place place on a decreasing cost per transistor.
Is that still true? For example, does a TSMC N7 wafer cost the same today as it did back when it was the leading edge? Will an N3 wafer cost the same in 2024 as it does today?
