Pentium 4 processors before Prescott belong to family 15. Prescott and
recent Pentium 4 processors still use 15 as family ID. If I understand you
correctly then there should be no distinction between these processors
because they have the same family ID, but there is one in bsd.cpu.mk
because of SSE3.
