I got one of the first 3800 X2 this week and I thought I can share the first impression with you:
Overclocking:
As we need each MHZ for ffdshow, this one was crucial. I came from a A64 Newcastle which I could overclock with a Scythe NCU 2005 air cooler from stock 2000 Mhz to 2350 Mhz at reasonable temps (not more than 70 degree celsius). Now, the 3800 comes with a stock speed of 2000 Mhz and it runs with normal voltage stabile at 2400 Mhz. at 1.45V (+0.15V), it runs stabile at 2500 Mhz, the limit still needs to be tested, so maybe 2600 or more is possible. Temps not more than 60 degree celsius.
Performance in ZP without ffdshow:
ZP nicely destributes the load over both cores.
Performance in ZP with ffdshow:
One core works like hell, the other one relaxes.
Performance Nero Recode:
Impressive. In the High-quality pre-analysis 1250 frames per second.
