Do you ever actually do your research before you post?
I hate to say it, but Shintai is right (even though he is an A$$). K10 has the same number of SSE units as K8. They are now 128-bit wide versus 64-bit. They did not double in number.
Upgrades for K10 can be found here (credit to gOJDO) - go down to the bottom for SSE improvements.
The 4 dual precision SSE OPs per cycle is referring to packing 2 x 64-bit instructions into each 128-bit execution unit in a clock cycle. Not doubling the number of execution engines.
