I have seen FCP get to around 560-580% whilst rendering on my 8-core. While it's not a "full optimization" for Final Cut, it *is* an improvement over a 4-processor machine....

I got an 8-core primarily because I am a fairly heavy After Effects user, and After Effects takes advantage of the 8-core. Also, as a "one-man band", I appreciate the faster render times, and the fact that multi-tasking is made easier with an 8-core. If I want, I can have Compressor going, and also be working on DVD menus in Photoshop, for instance... On my older machine, once Compressor started - that was it... go get a sandwich!
