i see 5 chip/cpu-types:
1. classical cpus
2. cell and XXP
3. special vision and grafic chips
4. networking chips
5. memory with additional processing
only 1. and 5. are increasing slowly, but 2.-4. are increasing much faster.
What do i need for my agish development:
- One fast cpu with large cache, 64 bit and very large memory.
- And many high-speed-connected chips (XXP or Cell) with low latency connections. (Sorry internet-p2p doesnt work)
with 2x increased classical cpu-power i coordinate 4x-8x networked cpus.

There are two issues here...
1) I think the rate of decrease time of entry-level computer price may be increasing ... i.e. in your terms "the doubling time has been reducing". I think you're overestimating the rate of increase of the rate of decrease, though...
2) I think you overestimate the effect of cheaper entry level computers on AGI progress. The effect is substantial but not THAT substantial, in my view...
