I think the issue is power consumption rather than cost.

I guess OEMS can offer ultra high performance options with up to 2Mb of L3 cache as well as cacheless options.

It may also offer an OEM a way of segmenting different price points.

However as the K-3 will be plenty fast enough versus the competition that OEMs will go for lowest power/cost combination.
