sorry , trying to justify overpricing the cards wont help at all . Electronics are the only thing that goes down in price over time ...

we used to buy Simple Calculator with few transistors for $2000 , now you get them for $1

which means also that transistors manufacturing cost went down 2000 FOLDS !

and you dont have any information about their base cost... it is a kept secret.
I'm getting my information from basic Google searches. Granted it's not the actual cost of the final product, but it's enough to tell me how the industry has fared over the past 15 or so years.

If you have any sources of your own saying how cramming 28 billion transistors into the size of something slightly larger than a postage stamp should cost the same if not less as shoving 115 million transistors in the same size, I'm all ears.

want an example ? fine

intel flaghship Core 2 Extreme QX9650 had 820 million transistors and was four cores running at 3Ghz sold for $999

now intel flagship i9 10900k with ten cores running at 3.7Ghz and with transistor count of more than 4 BILLIONS (can reach 7 intel does not say anymore)
and is sold for $500

Ryzen 9 3950X a 16 cores CPU with 3800 Millions Transistor (3.8 billions) is selling for $750


want more ?

Mobile chip Snapdragon 855 has 6.7 Billions transistors and is TINY and is sold for $55 ONLY

by your logic today CPU flagships should sell for $5000

your logic is wrong because you dont know the base price , and the base cost of making the chip . making the chip is very cheap compared to Research , the cost comes from the research more than the chip making , the chip making prices are very low by the way . a small percentage of the whole price (expect tens of dollars per chip nothing more).
