Perhaps not.

I know there is sse2 in Hammer, but i doubt theyll add them to barton

As far as I know, while they own the rights to SSE2, they don't go into effect until the end of the year.
Note the 'As far as I know' bit...
So they could put it on the core but not enable it until a later BIOS update or something.
Same thing was suspected of Clawhammer.

Note that this is not official info, just random speculation I read a while back...
