I'm reading the thread, sorry if it has been already answered...
No one is sure, all JF has said is that AMD is working with MS to devise core utilization order etc.

I would imagine, that ideally for multithreaded tasks you would want the same module due to the shared L2, but for separate tasks you would want different modules due to the performance loss from sharing components
