id Software just released a new beta patch for their latest game Quake 4. It improves performance for multiprocessor machines be it HyperThreading, dual CPUs or dual cores.

Quote:

id Software and Raven have worked with Intel to dramatically improve QUAKE 4 performance on systems with HT Technology, multiple processors, or dual core processors. Players who have a system with one of these configurations will notice performance gains in QUAKE 4 of anywhere from 25% - 87% depending on processor type.
