I had to google a bit to confirm this, and seems like I'm not the only one that understood it the way I did:

Basically, the info I knew was that Katmai had 128 Bits SSE registers but processed it as 2x64 Bits. That info is well reference pretty much everywhere. What is NOT explicitly mentioned is whenever Coppermine/Tualatin maintained that arrangement or had 128 Bits compute units for SSE, so the wording always made Katmai to look like an exception, as if everything else was 128 Bits.
