Increases of processor speed increase processing not mathematically
but algebraically. (I may have the terms wrong but it is not 2+2+2,
it is 2x2x2)
Notice I only upgraded from a 2000+ to a 2.01 but it was a larger
cache and a doubling of the processor.
Any dual core will increase the speed tremendously.
Also note with my old system all the system could do was process the
video it was not capable of multi tasking. With the dual core I can
multi task with ease.
I do not know about Apple Computers, but in the IBM realm the price
decrease on Dual processors has been steep.

You mention a rendering speed increase of 8X. While that may be true
for some people, most won't be upgrading that far, and will only see
rendering speed increases of maybe 2X. This isn't too relevant as long
as you manage your time well (render overnight/during lunch) or use a
decent NLE that allows you to render one project at low priority while
editing another. AFAIK neither Premiere nor FCP will allow that yet
(inexplicably allowing only one instance of themselves at a time)
