Very little money is made by Intel or AMD at the bottom of the range, and this is where AMD is at.
Wow... I cant even begin to tell you how many times I've heard this, and how wrong it is. The fact is that the vast majority of the money these companies make is at the low end. As a matter of fact entry level.
Lets consider that cost per die is somewhere around $31 give or take $5 then consider volume and make the appropriate calculations... You'll see that the low end makes a lot more money then the high end. The high end is just for bragging rights.
