So .... Can TG2 scale to 6 core or stuck with the max of 4 ?

Anyone?

it would have been awesome if they featured terragen 2 on their applications benchmarks page.

I think it should be able to. From what I read of the i7, it scales the processor as demand increases in a multi-thread application. T2 is one of the most demanding apps I can think of.
