My thoughts exactly. Even for MPEG-2 compression on my 4400+ X2, my encoder is multithreaded, but my frame server is single threaded, so I can only utilize 70% of my CPU power. Quad core won't help me and that app is what I would purchase it for if it did. For games, a CPU is not good at cranking out the gflops, so it wouldn't make a good physics proc either. A video card is much faster in that regard. Using a core for graphics is also not where a CPU shines. Dunno what would make a good app for a quad core CPU except in a server based environment where it needs to handle a ton of requests.
