Well, I started with the assumption that normal chips have a 1 gigapulse
maximum capacity. This is at a size of 2 cm by 3 cm by 1 cm, not
counting any reading/writing mechanisms. Since I was also assuming that
the implanted version is much smaller than that (I should have made a
note of that.) I reduced the maximum as well. Additionally, I said a
*hint* of consistency. :)

Nope, SR3 moves towards linear growth. Check the change to the
Skillwires system (Max Total Mp times Max Total Rating time 500 nuyen.).
