as you have no clue what kind of a K10 it was.
Read the article, it says the latest silicon revision.
no idea how much cache it had and ofc no idea how much of a perf impact cache has on K10 etc.
K10 has 4x128kB L1, 4x512kB, 1x2048kB L3. K10 is a K8 derivate, so IMO the cache capacity can't make a huge difference in performance.

il see the benches once the CPu is launched and when we know all the info.
I agree. But we heard a lot of promises from AMD about K10 performance and the only 2 benchmarks(POV Ray and Cinebench) are indicating the opposite of what AMD claims.
