What about new Durons based on the Palomino core? The problem is that as far as I know they have nothing in their name (like XP in Athlon's case) that distinguishes them from older Durons based on the Thunderbird core, while they do support SSE in addition to 3DNow and MMX. Perhaps it would

Shouldn't Athlons and AthlonXPs be able to use i686 (pentiumpro) instruction set optimizations? No. They are different cpu cores that have different optimization strategies. Yes, all Athlons can use i686 code while the k6's can't. Further, without doing any scientific testing, I would
