Hello. I read in a very old page (September 23, 2003)about Athlon vs P4 that Athlon 64 CPUs in Socket754 don´t have the SSE3 instructions set,(i know its really an expansion for SSE2) and that they work at 0.13µ.
But i recently(1 month ago) bought a NEW Athlon64 3000+ S754, and when i run CPU-Z and WCPUID(with the lastest update available) they both say 90nm and SSE3!
I´m happy about this, but i wonder if its a mistake and i should be sad once again...May any1 tell me?

I have posted the same in other forum site, and Freeman confirmed me that CPUZ and WCPUID were right, the page is outdated, and AMD then released 64 3000+ s754 in Venice Core, the page talked about the first one released (Winchester core). Here is a link to see the forum and the specs confirming SSE3 and 90nm SOI tech:
