How many cores / threads does VW take advantage of?
I was so close to pulling the trigger on a new system build but then Intel released the new Broadwell processors and now I'm rethinking the whole build.
But before I get to far into this I want to know how many cores does VW use?
My assumption is that in drawing it only uses 1, and leans on the GPU, but in rendering it might take advantage of more.
My budget is not going to allow a $1700 6950x, but the 6800 is only a little more than the 6700 and has 6 cores instead of 4.

To clarify a bit from this, much of the redraw capability of Top/Plan is now utilizing the GPU, rather than multiple core usage on the CPU. However, that is ONLY redrawing things on the screen, such as when you zoom or pan around. The GPU does NOT handle database access or geometry calculation, such as when you do a duplicate array or extrude along path, those are still single core operations.
