When is Valve's multi core patch getting released?

I though this would have been out by now. The rumour was that it will be out by the time Ep 2 is launched, does this mean that it's out in a few days or so?

I just got a quad core so i'm a bit excited to see how much of an improvement this patch gives me, especially in DOD:S.

Yep, that's why i'm looking forward to it.

Really want to see if going quad core was worth it. Hopefully i'll get a pretty good boost

Here's an extract from Game Informer:-

What about people who are going multicore? Are you supporting that as well?

Walker: Yeah, if you’ve got a multicore machine, it helps a lot. As I say, the quadcore systems that we have here, their frame rates are just insane. It’s like 300 FPS at 2500 by 1900 or something like that. Those cores are just chewing up the animation systems and particles. All of our core technology systems, the engine itself is shared between TF2, Portal and Episode 2 and so on, so all the work that’s being done there is being shared across all of those products.

Excellent. I don't know what i'm more excited about, the patch itself or the games
