"So, has the Thoroughbred core met the hype that has been built for it? Yes, but not in the direct way that so many of our readers may have hoped for. The Thoroughbred introduced the .13-micron process technology to AMD, which allows for lower voltages that allows higher clock speeds (and thus overclocking). It allows for the Barton core to come along later and boost the clock-to-clock performance of the Athlon XP. And, it allows the Hammer processor to have a stable background for its coming release."
