Do such uses of IP manifest itself in this price index though? (I presume not, since even bare silicon prices should be several cents cheaper than a final packaged discrete device for SIP uses)
One extreme is ARM cores: incredibly popular, there are several in your laptop and probably half a dozen in your smartphone, ... ARM holdings is an IP & design company, they design & license cores.
But regarding those old cores I mentioned ... lots of use because it's legacy with lots of developers that know the architecture.
