Tenchusatsu,

It appears that Thunderbird was a fairly straight forward change to on chip L2, with no additional changes to the core. I think the old path to L2 was 64bit as well.

It seems that Thunderbird was a very low risk move by AMD. Given the fact that the lifetime of thunderbird will be very short (with probably no more than 2 to 3 months of wafer starts after today), the risk / reward seems appropriate.
