I agree.

Intel's first Pentium 4 with SSE3 is called "prescott". We could use
"venice" analogously to represent SSE3-capable Athlon64 CPUs.

Would it be possible to indicate whether SSE3 is supported during boot? I have a Turion 64 X2 which from what I've read supports SSE3 but while SSE and SSE2 are listed as CPU features during boot, there's no mention of SSE3.
