I think Thorton is just the Barton core with less cache. There are probably a few tweaks relative to the Tbred core.

The optimistic version is that it is Athlon XP with SSE3 :-).

cj, re: Thorton
From the translation of the PC watch article, it seems that Thorton will be based on the Barton core improvements, which seems to have better power consumption than TbredB, but still have only the 256K L2. Translation link below(translation not too hot, I especially question the 8GHz part, maybe it was referring to 8way?).
