  Yes. It uses the six cores fairly effectively from what my little monitoring gadget shows. You will want some kind of nvidia card with CUDA cores assuming you are going to be editing HD.

  The AMD x6 will not give you the best editing platform, but it is certainly a decent and workable platform. You can see how it stacks up here.

  Premiere will take full advantage of any multicore processors. I currently run a quadcore AMD Phenom (Comparable to an Intel i5) and while it does the job, the most pressing improvement in performance was the installation of a Cuda enabled card on Premiere’s approved list.

  Cuda cards accelerate preview video and most preview effects, and also the export from a few codecs including h.264. Encoding from Adobe Media Encoder or After Effects don’t seem to take advantage of this feature though.
