Anyone here with an 6+ core CPU who can help me out?

Basically, I'm trying to find out just how well Manga Studio does at multi-threading.

My PC is getting a bit dated and I'm thinking about upgrading it.
I don't really care about gaming anymore, the only thing that matters to me is MS performance. (And enough headroom for the possibility of streaming my work.)
So all I want is a beefy CPU, but I'm not sure what's appropriate.
I'm a bit of an AMD fan (looking at the completely ridiculous FX-9590), but I feel like I would be better served with an Intel at this point.

If anyone with such a beefy CPU could download this: http://www.clipstudio.net/en/purchase/trial - try a huge 2000px brush on an A4 600 dpi canvas, and keep an eye on CPU utilization, I'd be much obliged.
Try the "blurred edge watercolor" brush, and if you really want to punish your CPU try "Paint and Apply". My PC basically grinds to a standstill with that one...

    I would think that if the software is worth a damn, it would be using the GPU instead of the CPU to handle graphics rendering like that. In which case, you'd be much better off with a modern GPU.
