Im intrigued by your second paragraph about prices going up. I’ve often wondered if the availability of cheap computing is somehow related to the turnover in consumer electronics due to a fast upgrade cycle, but I don’t know enough about economics to really draw any connections.
I did look at price trends in pcpartpicker (https://pcpartpicker.com/trends/ https://pcpartpicker.com/trends/), but didnt really notice clear upward trends for cpu prices. I saw an uptick in gpu prices that I imagine was due to the recent crypto craze. Memory definitely looked like prices were going up across the board. Maybe these windows are too narrow to really identify the kinds of trends you are proposing. I would love to hear more on this topic from someone who knows more about economics and the industry than I do.
Edit: autocorrect apparently doesn’t know about gpus
