Do you mean the marginal cost by the producer, or the cost on the consumer? I can't see the price of electricity falling much, and the demand curve is apparently exponential if the hype is to be believed.

DeepSeep V4 Pro is 99% cheaper than similarly performing models were 2 years ago (if such a model even existed).
Computing has always been about how to wring out more efficiency. The ENIAC was 150,000 watts, with 3 phase 240 volt power, and cost about $500,000.
My day to day laptop (a year old) is 35 watts, with 1 phase 20 volt power, and cost $1,000, so that's 99.98% less power consumption, 99.8% cheaper, and it has about 10 orders of magnitude more computing power, all on a time span of 80 years.
