X-bits Labs has posted an interesting artical about the upcoming AMD Barton chip and how to figure out the real MHz and Pr rating .They also include a graph.
Here is a quote :

"This Chinese site (the same one that shared the confidential ATI slides with us last week (see this news story) shared with us some info, which allows us to derive a new formula and to calculate the rating of Athlon XP processors based on 0.13micron Barton core (it is none other but a Thoroughbred with 512KB L2 cache, which will be manufactured by UMC only and the mass production of which is planned for Q4 2002). "

The Barton rating system is, apparently:
Palomino Rating + 600

Some of the enhancements and optimizations found in Hammer are rumored to be present in Barton, so that would account for the drastic jump in the performance rating.
