"First it wasn't, then it was. The AMD Athlon XP based around the Barton core was, in many peoples' opinions the stopgap core that bridged between the XP and the Hammer. If Hammer could be released on schedule perhaps there was little need for the Barton. Delays with the K8 core have forced AMD to play out the Athlon XP saga for a little while longer, and to bridge the gap between themselves and Intel the XP needed a little helping hand."
