There isn't enough information to say much about that yet. Although 12 wide issue and "higher frequency" might indicate higer stp. Poulson is supposed to be "ultra parallel uarch" so throughput is probably a higher priority than stp, and with Kittson we probably get some uarch quirks ironed out plus higher frequency with better stp as a result. I'm sure we'll know enough to make somewhat educated guesses by February.
