A GPU with 2-3 billion transistors sells for 400-500, but for a chip half the size we pay 1k? Bull for insane prices in the CPU world.

PS: Until a CPU can make hot coffee and give hot water together with being able to process, than i don't see the point in 1k prices.
CPU & GPU thingies are bit more complex than rawmaterials that can be easily priced as $/kg like bananas or metals. Price comes from continuing research & development and such "minor" things. But i get your point.
