Competition is what makes computers better and better, without competition innovation might not be invested it.

But on a serious note, I don't think the consumers would allow themselves to be taken advantage of this way again, if low end PC is costing $400 now, no one will buy a low end for $1000 in 2 years.

The prices of high end cpus, I don't think would go up, but low end cpus will.
