software has to catch up. even final cut fails to use more than 2 of the 4 cores on my mac pro. after effects rarely uses more than 3 while rendering. right now, the only apps i could see really utilizing all 8 cores are 3d apps. with that and the fact that clovertown is two woodcrests sharing the same fsb, in most tasks it'll probably be slower just as the present quad is when compared to a conroe machine in that anandtech review they referred to.

maybe/hopefully. i've read a couple of places that it's getting rewritten from the ground up, which would be great if true.
