I could have sworn that Adobe Premiere used 4 cores. I compiled a video last night. I set it going so I could get ready for bed, and it had rendered an entire 4 minute video before I even got the chance to get my teeth brushed. The file size was 950MB.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 scales as well.
