We'll be thinking more along the lines of quad core then.
The useful of it is almost completely server related, IMO. It allows for co-processors to have direct access to the hypertransport bus, which is nice. From my understanding it could allow much cheaper specilization computers to be built using standard components.
Oh, and 4 cores for a system, or 8 cores when multithreaded games are really getting to a useful point.
I'm more interested in Intel's Conroe, and the rumors of AMD buying out ATi (doubtful, but it sure did boost ATi's stock with just rumors).
