Below is a video of a pre-release Windows build of Bibble 5 running on a 16-core AMD machine. I converted 116 RAW images from a Canon 1D Mark 2 dSLR from RAW to JPEG in about 1/12th the time of other software running on the same machine. Bibble 5 averages around 99% utilization on the 16-way machine.
Will a multi-core computer speed up my photographic workflow?
Yes, if you have the right software.
