evidence is that they will produce 32-bit processors as degraded socket 755 A64s.

I realize this is for market segmentation, but how smart is it when it does not seem there will be much saved on die size? Shouldn't AMD be trying to seed the ground with as many 64bit chips as it can? Especially since these will be socket 755, it seems a wasted oppurtunity to me.
