Nope. SSE3 != SSSE3. The additional S means Supplemential.
It's probably because the few changes didn't justify a SSE4
OK, the problem is that the actual sse3 bit is misnamed. According to
Intel's docs bit 0 of ECX is "sse", the kernel uses "pni". Too bad.
PNI (Prescott New Instructions) was the original engineering code name. Unfortunately
it was added too early before the marketing name was known and then it couldn't be
changed anymore.
Perhaps sse3 could be added as an alias to pni.
