Very shortly you should be receiving a special update from Valve, as they have optimised the source engine for multi-core systems. Hopefully, this will see some nice performance increases, and none of the inherent bugs associated with Valves updates of the past. This should be a big one. Care to comment? Feel free to do so below...

I was gonna relay this article to ya a few days ago PV but it completely slipped my head! This is great news since Source is probably the most widely used game engine at the moment. Unfortunately I don't think we are going to see any real-world improvements with the multi-threading on this specific engine. I say this because a freakin' Pentium 2 with onboard graphics can damn near play Source :p We'll see what happens! The greatest benefit is going to be for the dedicated server end, now we can really run multiple servers :D
