Mine is a Mac with an Intel chip -  Works nicely for renders. You can see tow halfs of th eimage being rendered at the same time. It isnt very intelegently implemented. One starts at the top, the other in the middle. Quit often one will finish a lot before the other . It would be logican that the one that finished would 'come back' to one still working... but no.  Also could have started one at top  working down and the other and the bottom working up till they meet - no that would be too efficient. Still, better than having only one all the time.
Also, unfortunately it doesnt help with cloth room or hair room simulations, which ifor me is really annoying, I use the cloth room a lot.

"I paint that which comes from the imagination or from dreams, or from an unconscious drive. I photograph the things that I do not wish to paint, the things which already have an existence."
