Digit-Life.com have some information which according to them come from an japanese source... a snip of those goes as follows:
"... And now a surprise: according the same sources, AMD is to release a new processor core – Thorton - with 256Kb L2 cache and 3000+/3200+ and higher ratings.

A logical question arises: isn’t Thorton a junior brother of Barton with halved 256Kb SRAM L2 cache? ..."
Here's more.
