Best CPU config for a busy DB server

[JW]

Hey everyone,

I'm pretty sure this is right but I wanted to double-check:

Is it correct that mysql 5.0 is threaded in such a way that a DB server taking 
lots of queries from many clients will be able to utilize lots of CPUs/core 
on a multi-cpu, multi-core system?

Or are multi CPUs/cores a waste?

Thanks,

	JW
