The current Processors are built directly off the previous models... The Athlon 64 is still an Athlon at heart. The current Dothan Pentium is a PIII. The Current Pentium 4 is the same core as when it was first released. I don't see when they supposidly swapped out cores? The SSE3 instruction set was just released with the Prescott Pentium 4. If they were now emulating past instruction sets, they wouldn't be releasing new ones. My arguement stands that the P4 and Athlon are still CISC processors. If you have links to articles that say otherwise, please post them. I'd love to read them.
