hmm almost expected.. Funny fact that most people miss is that K8 still beats Conroe in interger performance...
Are you kidding? Conroe slaughters the K8 in integer performance!

The K8L might be better than Yorkfield clock for clock in FP, but due to Yorkfield's clockspeed advantage, I think Yorkfield may have the upper hand overall.

i am abit dissapointed tho seeing that it won't share the l2
The cache is still shared, just not between all four cores. The reason is probably because it's difficult to get four cores to share cache effectively at the same time.
