You can of course make clear for your self if you care about power consumption etc. In the end it's like saying it ain't fair to compare a GTX280 with a HD4870X2 because the latter one has two cores, in the end they're competitors. Point is just that K10 is called Prescott, it just ain't, I think you need more stuff to name a CPU a Prescott. Otherwise you could call i7 a Prescott too only because it uses more power, but that would be kind of weird, wouldnt it?
How prescott compared to northwood was not important, What is important is how it compared to K8. That was also k10's problem, How it compared to conroe was more important than how it compared to k8.
