Ok, that is nice, but very wrong.
Technology that reduces the transistor size, which currently is being driven by the smartphone industry, will always result in old technology being cheaper. This causes higher efficiency and less waste per silicon wafer, thus the price of production goes down. Look at sticks of DDR3. Reduction in growth allows for larger sticks, but the high efficiency also creates dirt cheap sticks.
