"If Hammer is indeed largely based on the K7 design and has no SSE2 support, AMD could be in deep troubles next year."

Not necessarily. Suppose Hammer has true TFP, that is triadic fp instructions, and Thoroughbred is the processor with SSE2.

I don't know what would it take for Hammer speculations to end. AMD has made the x86-64 spec public long time ago. K8 _has_ SSE2. Read the spec or go to the x86-64.org website and download gcc generating x86-64 instructions including SSE2 or download and build an x86-64 Linux kernel for that matter.
