It's a good idea, but if games were multi-threaded in the first place, that dedicated vector processor wouldn't be needed. It's a half-assed solution to the fundamental problem of serial processes.

Multithreaded games are starting to appear. Here are some I know of off the top of my head:
Quake 3
Quake 4
Oblivion
Call of Duty 2
Falcon 4 Allied Force
There are some games on the way too:
UT 2007 (How many revs are we going to get of this game? I was happy with plain old UT!)
Far Cry 2
I am not aware of anymore than this this however.

PS. Is Doom 3 multithreaded?
