I have a Phenom II X6 1100T, and I do find the feature useful over my 
previous X3 Phenom. The multicores are still useful even if you don't 
have any multithreaded apps (not possible these days, most apps are 
multithreaded to some extent). However, if you only have single-threaded 
apps, running multiple of them simultaneously is still a useful exercise 
on multicore processors.
