fingolfen,

If Tbred "A" was 8 layers, and "B" is 9, it is 1/8th increment. The cost of 8 layers is pretty much given. To offset the cost of higher layers, there is a reduction of die size, and the last addition, improved ASPs compared to horrendous ASPs AMD would have been left with if all they had for sale for the rest of Q3 and Q4 were 2200 rated CPUs.
