Ok, i stick my chin out with this prediction, feel free to smash it once real numbers are out.
Zambezi FX (BD) thread VS Phenom II (Thuban) thread performance: (not including support for new instruction sets)

Add to that calculation BD clock advantage. My prediction is that the per module IPC could be 15-25% better than Thuban depends of sotware. Eight BD threads can be faster from 35% to 80% than Thuban six threads.

Yupp, this is calculated @ same core clockspeed (turbo off). Average IPC about 18%...(This is also about the same price per core increase %)
@Manicdan: Interesting numbers
