seem to me like the intent is to explicitly demonstrate that the transistor count goes up exponentially compared to the manuals?
if I wanted to demonstrate that the relationship between two functions is exponential, I think I might plot it in a similar way
It's not an entirely-serious graph (the text notes the data sets aren't comparable). Just trying to motivate paper by showing two trends.
