Look for "cost metrics" table, "cost per million transistors". As or intel: they claim they can make cheaper transistors, but yet their cpu's don't reflect that. Also they've offered manufacturing services for some time, but nobody taken , and that's pretty weird if they are so cheap beyond industry. So many in the industry don't think it is true.

    Cost per transistor is still dropping, but transistor count is skyrocketing as Intel adds cores. Their flagship Xeon CPU has 18 cores and something like 5.5 billion transistors. New CPUs during the clock speed doubling era had moderate increases in transistor count to accommodate new features. Now that clock speed increases have stalled, adding on more stuff is the only way to differentiate new products.
