*"... to have all the cores for strictly rendering..."
*That's not up to the CPU, that's up to the application. IF the application can make use of multple cores, THEN they will be used. You might have to tweak some application settings - for example, Poser 7 uses only 1 thread (=1 core) by default, you can change that in preferences to 4.
Vue: it depends on the version. I have Infinite, and it'll grab all cores it can find, along with all memory that it can find. A quad core with 8 GB of RAM gets used fully by Vue Infinite.
I'm not sure about the lighter versions of Vue. For example, Vue 6 Easel is only 32 bit (won't use more than 2 GB), and probably won't use more than 1, maybe 2 cores.
Cinema is considered to be a midlevel to high end app, so it'll probably use all the hardware it can find. I don't have Cinema, so I just don't know.
The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
