The power of four: moving from dual-core to quad-core processors is more than just a numbers game.(Hardware)

Artists, animators, editors, and technical directors are constantly demanding more computing power to create extremely complex and highly realistic images. These days, there's a new way to add more processing power to a workstation, and that's to add more processors.
