> massive gaming industry driving the cost down.

Per-unit manufacturing cost scales logarithmically. Even a single batch of custom silicon on yesterday's technology is only $30K. This is one of the reasons there is so much interest in RISC-V; hardware costs are not the barrier-to-entry that they used to be.

So yeah, the gaming market pushes the per-unit price of GPUs down, but even an additional 2x reduction in rackspace and power will pay for itself at the right scale.
