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.

FWIW:
It's already indicated during boot for my fairly old Athlon64:

CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ (1809.28-MHz K8-class CPU)
Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x20ff0 Stepping = 0
Features=0x78bfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2>
Features2=0x1<SSE3>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AMD Features=0xe2500800<SYSCALL,NX,MMX+,FFXSR,LM,3DNow!+,3DNow!>
AMD Features2=0x1<LAHF>
