Found this tidbit in the FullOn3D article ( ):

Drew Prairie: "The pricing for the enhanced AMD Athlon processor is on par with the current version, so it is easy to see why OEMs and end-users would adopt the enhanced processor and take advantage of the performance benefit without paying a price premium."

So assuming the yields/bin-splits are the same for Classic and TBird then AMD actually makes more $/wafer area on the Classic -- but I would imagine demand will be limited to those with existing Slot A MB.
