This is what happens when there is no strong competition. If Bulldozer fails to deliver, this will only get worse.

Well if a lot of people are to new systems at the moment, that's only going to cause the average price to increase.

You think Intel wouldn't take advantage?... the more the merrier. No price drops.

BD will deliver... and even if it won't beat Ivy or Sandy it will still be a better choice than one-socket-per-year intel.

Considering CPU's have northbridge, graphics, and pcie controllers inside them they should increase the average cost in comparison to previous generations.

Not really... what intel does is to take logic from chipsets that are manufactured at a higher tech node than the CPU's, reduce the cost per chipset or controller hub, and shrink that logic to the CPU's tech node, while bigger it will still need less Si, so less cost for more logic. Also there are less wafer lines that need to make less types of PCH, take a look at intel's x6x PCH, it's one and the same but with some fuses burned out or not, depending on what they target. If you compare that to AMD's x00 series, where they have several different chips altogether, which might imply added cost, you see intel's playing the cost game... again.
