It's not even really a law of economics or nature. Or a law. It's a state of a tendency if the rate of expansion of transistor density. At present, it's more economical (if you don't need programmatic elastic expansion of your cluster) to rent/lease dedicated hardware or set up your own. This is because hardware has been getting faster than they have been upgrading. >Competition drives the performance improvements coming out of Intel and AMD, and competition will drive the rate at which savings are passed along to the consumer in cloud service providers. The point of this discussion is that this hasn't happened yet with any known majors beyond RAM upgrades and small amounts of price-twiddling.
