A ninth metal layer and 400k more transistors seem to be the major change. I'm willing to bet that a lot more rerouting of speed paths were involved, too... Nine metal layers has GOT to be cutting into the profit margins. Each additional layer involves additional costs, so jumping from six at 0.18 micron to nine at 0.13 has got to hurt somewhere...
