I've posted on this topic before, but I'll say again. Lightwave 8.3, in particular, is coded to take advantage of the dualcore cpus in all aspects of workflow. That means poly manipulation, deformation and yes, rendering. Dual processor machines have always been able to RENDER together, but never came into play as a team when performing scene creation and modeling. Hopefully another big boost will come when we switch everything over 64bit.
I have actually talked to Gary Reiley at Newtek about this, and was told that dual cpu machines and dualcore machines are not the same when it comes to LW 8.3. The dualcore will always win in overall speed with LW.
I don't think I can specifically answer your question, but I do know that getting an Athlon x2 dualcore cpu was by far the biggest jump in speed with LW I have ever seen in my 8 years of using the software. Close to double speed in all areas. The rendering boost is nice, but being able to push more polys in Layout has been the best part. Other software was not that noticable, but AE, Photoshop and others are not written yet to take advantage of dualcore.
Hope that helps
Mike
