Oh, absolutely. Hell, I'd argue you're not buying transistors at all. Transistors are free. You're buying the design of the chip and the ability to fit it in a certain sized area.
Your argument is true but as witiken said you are buying more and more transistors.

Intel is planning to push its 14nm Broadwell processors, which will be released by the end of 2014, into three major notebook segments: entry-level non-touchscreen traditional notebooks sized 10.1- to 17.3-inch and priced between US$199-599; 2-in-1 devices priced between US$349-999; and 14- to 17-inch performance-level notebooks priced above US$1,500, according to sources from the upstream supply chain.
Notebook brand vendors have also started clearing their Haswell-based notebook inventories recently.
Intel's Core M processors codenamed Broadwell Y already entered mass shipments in September and have been widely adopted in 2-in-1 devices from vendors such as Lenovo and Asustek Computer looking to attract demand for the year-end holidays. Intel's Broadwell U series will enter mass production in January 2015 and begin mass shipments by the end of the first quarter 2015. The high-end Broadwell H series will become available in the third quarter of 2015.
Following Broadwell, Intel will release its next-generation 14nm Skylake series and the processors will enter mass production in the third quarter of 2015 at the earliest. After Skylake, Intel will release the 10nm Skymont.

Tock: HaswellI'm confused. So does it mean INtel is no longer doing the tick tock? Jumping straight from 14nm to 10nm.

Broadwell notebooks starting at $199 - is that realistic? I heard similar claims from Intel of low price Haswell notebooks (not as low as $199 though!), but it never materialized. At least not until the end-of-life-cycle when they were being sold at discount.

whats the point of cherrytrail then for non tablet applications??
Lenovo’s newest Yoga convertible notebook measures half an inch thick and weighs 2.6 pounds, but the Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro is a notebook with an Intel Core M broadwell processor, Windows software, and a screen that bends over backward so you can use the system like a tablet.
The Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro features a 13.3 inch, 3200 x 1800 pixel IPS display, 8GB of RAM, and up to 512GB of solid state storage. It’s powered by an Intel core M-5Y70 Broadwell processor and offers up to 9 hours of battery life. Lenovo’s been selling Yoga convertibles for a few years, but this is the thinnest and lightest to date, thanks to a new aluminum hinge design and Intel’s low-power processor which generates less heat and allows for thinner designs.
Other features include micro HDMI output, WiFi, Bluetooth, 2 USB 3.0 ports, and 4 speakers. [..]
The Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro is now available for $1350 and up.
Nice! Not at $199 though... Now I'd just like to see some benchmarks on the M-5Y70, and for how long it can turbo to 2.6 GHz before starting to throttle. Also the hinge looks a bit weird on the back I think?

those prices are depressing. what happened to 599 2-1s with core m sigh

The Yoga 2 Pro cost $1099 for the 128GB and Yoga 3 Pro costs $1349 for the 256GB. The SSD does NOT cost $250 even in Lenovo's ridiculous world so that means per GB of SSD the Y3P costs $100 or more. Why I don't know.The price is the same as its predecessor. It's simply a high-end device.
It costs less for Intel and its more profitable that way?whats the point of cherrytrail then for non tablet applications??
I'm confused. So does it mean INtel is no longer doing the tick tock? Jumping straight from 14nm to 10nm.
No that's a Chromebook, not a Notebook. Also, it's EOL since Broadwell will be released soon.Yea, we already have Haswell Notebooks at $199: http://www.amazon.com/Acer-C720-Chro.../dp/B00FNPD1VW
It's unfortunately a common trick to overcharge for SSD storage in fixed-builds like notebooks.The Yoga 2 Pro cost $1099 for the 128GB and Yoga 3 Pro costs $1349 for the 256GB. The SSD does NOT cost $250 even in Lenovo's ridiculous world so that means per GB of SSD the Y3P costs $100 or more. Why I don't know.
But what's the point for the customer?It costs less for Intel and its more profitable that way?
So tick-tock is dead on desktop?It means certain market segments won't get Broadwell treatment at all and go to Skylake. Like the desktop for example.
