I was searching a little for why the 6502 was so much cheaper. From this it 
appears the die size and transistor count was similar to other processors of 
the time.

Their is some discussion of they had better mask repair and got better yields.
How much was they though the buisness model was high volume low cost so
they priced it that way vs technical details of the chip or manufacturing?
