Maybe take a larger view of it. Instead of just looking at Intel, look at the companies buying intel chips, are they getting more output with the same dollar input?

Probably not. The ones who were constrained by computing power are now doing higher quality work - FEA comes to mind as something that seems to produce more accurate results with increased computing capability. Games get "better" but their market doesn't get bigger - just more demanding. Hollywood does more CGI, but that doesn't actually increase their market. These are all things that don't affect GDP.
