I disagree and assert that not only is there no benefit to setting process affinity, it can be harmful, since setting affinity on a Linux kernel process does not provide exclusivity to that resource.
The scheduler in modern Linux kernels (anything past 2.6.32, I think) does a pretty good job.
If the author can cite a benefit that I am not aware of, I may be inclined to change my opinion, but from what I know today, setting affinity not only has no benefit to srcds server performance, it could even theoretically be harmful to performance.

Be sure that you are setting your srcds to a specific core and not to all cores (0-3 or 0-7 if you are on a mult-core machine).
