Yes you can compare it per core.Read again what i wrote.
Scaling is 1.85 for dual core K8.
K10,1.6Ghz ,4core - 814.
K10,1.6Ghz,2 core - 440(with scaling of 1.85x from 2 to 4 cores)

K8,1.6Ghz,2 cores(1MB of L2)- 445!!!

So by this we get that K10 is supposedly slower than K8 per core in this test.And test was done on AM2 mobo!
This tells me that that was some early buggy revision with who knows what deactivated trough bios,with sole purpose of demonstrating the performance/watt claims AMD made in the pas(Double the cores ,keep the same total system consumption and double the performance
i think cinebench was writed for K8. 440-445 about the same. Barcelona can run DDR2-800-ECC, it was 666. maybe this could slow it.

And maybe K8 apps can't be faster on K10. ( or it's dual X2 )
