>We'll have to see what happens. Truthfully, I would have thought Barton to be crucial for AMD's very low power applications, including mobile and dense servers. On the other hand, maybe the cost involved with SOI really is larger than AMD anticipated, and perhaps combined with the desire to move resources to Hammer, Barton simply got cancelled.<

It is possible that Hammer can be made lower power than Barton. With an integrated memory controller the processor itself would almost have to run hotter, but the extra power consumed by Hammer might not be as great as the power saved in the support chipset.

If the above is not true, the decision to cancel all Barton processors would be a major mistake, although I think a bulk silicon Clawhammer for desktop would make more sense than Barton for desktop.
