<The performance increase will be greater for the enhanced SSE2 (TFP) of Hammer in x86-64 because of the increased number of registers, but even less in Thoroughbred. >

This sounds very confused. First SSE2 has nothing to do with TFP which is long gone. Second, the extra registers are only available in 64-bit mode, so your comparison to Tbred is meaningless, since Tbred is a 32-bit CPU.

Hope this helps,
