A very educative article, but not enough detailed to make perfromance estimations. IMO, K10 will be a FP monster. It will outperform any x86 for FP per clock per core. For non-SSSE3/SSE4 optimized applications it will perform roguhly same as Core2 at same frequency. It will be slower than Core2 for arithmetic and logic calculations, at same frequency.
On 4P+ it will dominate for sure and maybe on 2P. On 1P, Core2 will remain holding the crown.
