I've been looking around for a list for applications that are known to use 4 or 8 cores well, but I haven't been able to dig one up. Part of the point is to identify apps that don't utilize available resources well that might benefit from distribution of power. Here are a few I found from Barefeats:
  • iDVD 6+
  • Motion 2+
  • Photoshop CS3+
  • FCP 5+

Does anyone have a more comprehensive list or have apps they can add to this?
